Jan-08-19 Domdaniel chessforum    Domdaniel: Blank Reg: "They said there was no future - well, this is it."      Jan-06-19 Kibitzer's Café    Domdaniel: Haaarry Neeeeds a Brutish Empire... https://youtu.be/ZioiHctAnac      Jan-06-19 G McCarthy vs M Kennefick, 1977    Domdaniel: Maurice Kennefick died over the new year, 2018-2019. RIP. It was many years since I spoke to him. He gave up chess, I reckon, towards the end of the 80s, though even after that he was sometimes lured out for club games. I still regard this game, even after so many years, as the ...      Jan-06-19 Maurice Kennefick    Domdaniel: Kennefick died over the 2018-19 New Year. Formerly one of the strongest players in Ireland, he was the first winner of the Mulcahy tournament, held in honour of E.N. Mulcahy, a former Irish champion who died in a plane crash. I played Kennefick just once, and had a freakish win, ...      Jan-06-19 Anand vs J Fedorowicz, 1990    Domdaniel: <NBZ> -- Thanks, NBZ. Enjoy your chortle. Apropos nothing in particular, did you know that the word 'chortle' was coined by Lewis Carroll, author of 'Alice in Wonderland'? I once edited a magazine called Alice, so I can claim a connection. 'Chortle' requires the jamming ...      Jan-06-19 chessgames.com chessforum    Domdaniel: <al wazir> - It's not easy to go back through past Holiday Present Hunts and discover useful information. Very few people have played regularly over the years -- even the players who are acknowledged as best, <SwitchingQuylthulg> and <MostlyAverageJoe> have now ...      Jan-05-19 Wesley So    Domdaniel: Wesley is a man of his word. Once again, I am impressed by his willingness to stick to commitments.      Jan-04-19 G Neave vs B Sadiku, 2013    Domdaniel: Moral: if you haven't encountered it before, take it seriously. Remember Miles beating Karpov with 1...a6 at Skara. Many so-called 'irregular' openings are quite playable.      Dec-30-18 Robert Enders vs S H Langer, 1968   Domdaniel: <HMM> - Heh, well, yes. I also remembered that Chuck Berry had a hit with 'My Ding-a-ling' in the 1970s. I'm not sure which is saddest -- that the author of Johnny B. Goode and Memphis Tennessee and Teenage Wedding - among other short masterpieces - should sink to such ...      Dec-30-18 T Gelashvili vs T Khmiadashvili, 2001    Domdaniel: This is the game I mean: Bogoljubov vs Alekhine, 1922

Frogspawn: Levity's Rainbow

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 616 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> Oct-27-10    jessicafischerqueen: Very nice to see your smiling eye hopping out of <frogspawn> to my house. Did you know that Korean frogs are called "geh guerri"? They speak a different language too, they don't say "croak" they say "Kay-ro, kay- ro". I thought you secretly wanted to know. Oct-27-10    Domdaniel: Exactement, Mme Jessique Pecheur-de-Reines. Minds-aren't-read, wrong-paradigm. But if they were, You'da read my mind. Or what I like to think of as my mind. It's not really 'mine'. But Msieur Dom has such fab bespoke designer minds in his wardrobe - never even airs them, filthy pig, just has the same pervy old stained one he always uses. So you can't blame me for dressing up. You're lovely. The 'help' aka 'the French maid'. PS. If I get caught, he'll feed me to his herd of savage Korean pigs, so no peaching. Oct-27-10    ChessBookForum: Fear us. Oct-27-10    ChessBookForum: Actually you probably don't need to fear us since your flat is probably already littered with us. Also, your name is on the "secret link header" at the top of our forum. I'm not sure who put it there but I have an idea. You see, so many people have the password to our forum now it's hard to keep track of who's wearing the suit. Oct-27-10    Domdaniel: You're like an open book to me, you know. Oct-28-10    Annie K.: <Dom: <You're like an open book to me, you know.>> Hey, that's <my> line, and I want it back! :p Although I'll concede that this was a particularly opportune occasion for stealing it. ;) <Ah, a feeling. Yep, I'm on the way back.> Bravo, bravissimo. But keep it up. :) <- that's in Italian, and in French, too! Oct-30-10    Domdaniel: Speed-reading is like ... bullet chess or fast food or ... other things. Just because you *can* do something fast doesn't mean you have to. A. Sloth Oct-30-10    Annie K.: <Dom> I know what you mean. Why, just the other day, I was worried about someone or other, and that distracted me at work... I didn't pay any attention to what I was doing at all. I accidentally got a whole week's worth of work done in two hours. Yihikes! Fortunately, nobody noticed... :s Oct-30-10    Domdaniel: <A> <Fortunately, nobody noticed> Must be nice, that. ;) Oct-30-10    Annie K.: Heh, heh, heh... :p Wow, and a real smiley, too! ;) Oct-31-10    achieve: <G> You must be on cloud bleepin nine :9) Oct-31-10    Domdaniel: < You must be on cloud bleepin nine> I must? OK, if you say so. Funny expression, 'cloud 9', innit? A hint of the Bureaucracy on the Other Side ... - Right, mate, you'll be needing a cloud. We got everything on the lot - Cumulus Escort '73, one old lady driver, right up to your Lotus Nimbus with added thunderbolts. But, first, the wings - you want classical, that's yer gold and silver, very lah-di-dah, or tropical, red and blue and stuff, the kids go for tropical. Or ... yeah, mate, you'll look fine in Thrush. Beautiful plumage, yer Frush. In standard Northern European shyte-brown.... and did I mention we got a special offer on electric halos? Ahem. Come in, Cloud 9, yer time is up. Oct-31-10    achieve: Arright, Checkin Inn from the "other" other side to acknowledge yer fine piece of free Jazz... Poetic even. The Style reminds me in some ways of one of our greatest writers who unfortunately passed away yesterday... Did the news reach the green across the water hazard? Of course I'm referring to Harry Mulisch, a truly fascinating person, though I never met him in person. And he had moved past "style", a veritable literary chameleon. I think he beared testimony to the hypothesis that an extremely creative mind is most fruitful in a ingenuously organized and structured setting. Which he also created. At least it worked very well for him. Oct-31-10    hms123: <jess> <Also, your name is on the "secret link header" at the top of our forum. I'm not sure who put it there but I have an idea. > So do I. Pretty sure. Nov-01-10    Domdaniel: <Niels> Yes, I heard about Harry Mulisch. The giants are leaving us, and we don't seem to be in good condition to replace them. That said, I haven't read 'The Discovery of Heaven' ... I really only knew of him because of De Aanslag/ Assault, which I discovered as a result of the film version. Nov-01-10    Open Defence: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5ue... Nov-01-10    Open Defence: did you hear the one about the Author ? he is being sued for textual harassment.... Nov-01-10    Domdaniel: I thought he was atextual. Nov-01-10    Domdaniel: They're keying adverts to song lyrics. Just as John Cale sang "in the house with the bamboo floor" up popped an ad for floors. What next? Valium for 'Fear is a Man's Best Friend'? Fishing holidays for 'Trout Mask Replica'? Urban barbecues for 'Hot Rats'? Nov-01-10    Annie K.: 'A textual'. <A_textual>. Let'snotforgetourspaces, eh? Spaces are important - that's where the bars go. The bars are where the barbers, barbarians, and barbeques go. And the barbecues are where anything goes. Nov-02-10    achieve: The good Doc has left the country, so I will remain faceless, yet watchful, for a little while. Nov-02-10    Annie K.: <Dom: <So the master-level White player offers me a draw because he's scared of a lost ending, and I accept it because I'm scared of his rating. And everyone is happy, or not.>> There is something distinctly Hungarian about your sense of humor... That's a compliment. ;) Nov-02-10    Open Defence: < Domdaniel: I thought he was atextual.> it depended on the context... Nov-02-10    Domdaniel: <Annie> Thank you. Taken as such. My Hungarian brother-in-law used to work as a taxi driver. He told me that when his working day was finished - at last, no more contact with humans for a while - he used to let out a full werewolf-style whoop of delight. Then, one evening, mid-whoop, he realized he still had a passenger sitting in the back. Nov-02-10    Annie K.: LOL... priceless!! Um, did he let the witness get away? ;) Jump to page #   (enter # from 1 to 963) search thread:    < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 616 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing>
