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 634 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> Dec-12-10    Domdaniel: De juro, I don't seem to have any job. But I never really did, so no change there. Is this a question? Dec-12-10    Domdaniel: <Annie> Blitz eats the soul, burns the fingers, and leaves evidence in the liver, once the liver is that of a non-liver. If you see what I mean. Dec-12-10    Domdaniel: Headline on Henry Porter's Observer column: <The powerful may howl, but only because we are learning the truth>. Reminds me of that revolutionary classic ... how did it go? <The Great are only great because we are on our knees - let us ask them nicely for some knee-pads, or even an old bit of torn blanket, doesn't have to be clean ...> Dec-12-10    dakgootje: <<Annie> Blitz eats the soul, burns the fingers, and leaves evidence in the liver, once the liver is that of a non-liver. If you see what I mean.> Savage animals, those arctic reindeer. Also a nice observation by Harry Porter Dec-12-10    Domdaniel: What would Jan Hein Donner say? Dec-12-10    dakgootje: I suppose he would find someone to insult in a fairly interesting fashion :P I think Mulisch drew a lot from him for his characters in 'The Discovery of Heaven' However, if questions are not answered - does that mean all questions are rhetorical? Dec-12-10    Domdaniel: Meanwhile, those clues are coming thick and fast. And the thick and fast are ready for 'em. Meow. Dec-12-10    Domdaniel: The Number Madness returns ... My number of posts, excluding this, is 15385, or 5 x 17 x 181, the product of 3 primes of the form 4n+1, and thus the sum of 2 squares in 4 different ways. 5 = 2^2 + 1^2 17 = 4^2 + 1^2 181 = 10^2 + 9^2 17 x 181 = 3077 = 49^2 + 26^2 = 31^2 + 46^2 (2,1)*(49,26) = (98+26, 52-49) = (98-26, 52+49) = (124, 3) = (101, 72) (2,1)*(46,31) = (92+31, 62-46) = (92-31, 62+46) = (110, 61) = (123, 16) 15385 = 124^2 + 3^2 123^2 + 16^2 108^2 + 61^2 101^2 + 72^2 Dec-12-10    Annie K.: <dakkie: <Do you have a job? :| >> Well yes, just let's not forget the fine distinction between the decidedly non-synonymous concepts of "job" and "work. ;p <Dom: <Is this a question?>> If'n 'twere a question, then 'twere meta? :) <What would Jan Hein Donner say?> Let's ask Comet (Computer). <Meow.> Definitely! Dec-12-10    Annie K.: <And the thick and fast are ready for 'em.> + <The Number Madness returns ...> = <Number than thou> The math made me do it. Dec-12-10    Annie K.: <Sofia Rules, take two> I remember thinking, at the time of M-Tel 2005 (year #1), that it's no wonder Leko wasn't participating - why bother travel all the way to Bulgaria, when he has Sofia Rules at home?! ;p Dec-12-10    dakgootje: <let's not forget the fine distinction between the decidedly non-synonymous concepts of "job" and "work> Ahh certainly, miss cat is right again some nice math you got there domdidom :) Dec-12-10    Domdaniel: Leko, then Loek, now Luke. Auspicious phonemes, wot? Back to word language. Phew. Dec-12-10    Annie K.: Is Luke just Lucky this tournament, or should his opponents from now on better Luke out? Luke an' John Thorn Leeson ... He's got the Luke. Dec-12-10    Domdaniel: I just noticed that 'Cath' is a blend of 'math' and 'cat'. About a million years ago I lived with a person of that name ... perhaps, in my juvenile way, groping for the dual essence of Catness and mathness? There may be simpler explanations, but I tend not to see them. Dec-12-10    Annie K.: Heh. :) It's a pretty name, though. My childhood best friend - back in Romania - was a girl named Kati (nickname for Katalin), the Hungarian equivalent of Kathy/Cathy. Meanwhile, I feel like humming that old tune - < We've got that clueless feeling Ooh that clueless feeling... > OK, I'm off for a while, to get home (yes, I'm at work (noun)...) with some shopping planned on the way... so stick around folks, as no doubt there will be soon 3 clues published in quick succession. ;p Dec-12-10    Domdaniel: <Annie> Is Sunday in Israel like a Monday in nominally Xtian countries where people have weekends and jobs and such? It's a bit outside my area, but I gather there's something called the 'Monday morning feeling', due to the end of the weekend? I dunno, really. If it takes your temporary absence to get the clues moving, I won't complain -- as long as it's temporary. ;) Dec-12-10    Annie K.: Honey, I'm home! Did you solve all the clues? ;) Heh. Well, I did my part... :p Yeah, Sunday is the first day of the work week, same as Monday in most of the world. <It's a bit outside my area [...]> Bloody showoff. OK, I envy you, I envy you... :) In other news, it's been raining like crazy here today. Hmmph. Coulda used that darn rain last week. Dec-12-10    Domdaniel: <Annie> I dimly recall recent references by you to: (a) the possibility of buying a lifetime CG membership; (b) the purchase of t-shirts, plural; (c) something called 'money'. OK, I made the last one up. I still envy you. And yes, it's all 'go' here. Dec-12-10    Annie K.: <I still envy you.> Ooh, mutual feelings, that's nice! ;) Dec-12-10    Annie K.: <dakkie: <De Jura I like vacation more.>> :) Call in sick. Jura-sick, er, -ssic, *sic*, *hic*, or something like that. Pardon me, I clearly need to get some sleep. :s ♘! Dec-12-10    OhioChessFan: <..is that a multiple choice question?> <Aren't they all?> 1. Yes 2. No 3. 42 4. Tsagan Dec-13-10    Domdaniel: Never even tsaw it. Two more clues gone tsouth while I was tsleeping. Dec-13-10    Domdaniel: Were these set by Carl Sagan? I thought <stonehenge> would get the crop circle. Still, no more complaints about non-Eurocentricity ... a clue relating to the BBC appeared in the European afternoon. Tricky, trying to search for Qi on CG. Of course Chessbase does it in nanoseconds. Dec-13-10    dakgootje: Heh, I searched for QI-related games for quite some time - but I only got as close to searching for people with QI [or IQ] as their initials or surname.. I think I got as close as possible without actually solving it. :P Jump to page #   (enter # from 1 to 963) search thread:    < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 634 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing>
