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

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 638 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> Dec-15-10    dakgootje: Couldn't get anything working that way. tried some converting to hexadecimal etc as well but that did not do much good either.. 10 bucks say the prize will be 4 months, despite all the effort :P Dec-15-10    hms123: <Dom> Now I am angry. I spelled <Tsar> with an <s>. I got <hirsute>. I think I would have found <Zijun> with that much information. Dec-15-10    Domdaniel: <hms> I had Czar and hirsute but failed to notice the initial CH. Was chasing Zilko and Zilli and types like that. Argh. It was definitely a from-the-top clue: bland and wind have too many synonyms. Dec-15-10    Domdaniel: I've tried hex, nonary, octo, various number systems; variants on four, fore, quarter, etc (Day vs Doubleday almost had me going); alphanumeric codes, substitution and others; quarters, Washington, the designer of the coins, the distance from Ecuador to Poland (don't ask) ... Oh, and Chinese, Japanese, Estonian and Hungarian words for Four. There's a Negy somewhere. Dec-15-10    hms123: <Dom> Could it be the 14th someone? Like the name of the 14th president or king or.... Dec-15-10    Domdaniel: Not to mention 'one over four' = 1/4, thus Kasparov beats Kramnik (all-time ratings), Anand beats Kramnik (current ratings?), Carlsen ... Dunno. Not when they were set, anyhoo... And much much more. Hey, this is what I've been asking for: something that *lasts*... Dec-15-10    MostlyAverageJoe: The first two letters were enough, I think. This is sufficiently rare combination that I did not expected many players (nor many games played by them), so I just run down the list and got lucky: Ziaev, Ziane, Zibin, Zidek, Ziems, Zierk, Ziese, Ziger, Zijun, Zikov, Zilic, Zilka, Zimak, Zimin, Zimny, Zinal, Zinkl, Ziolo, Ziska, Zivic, Zivna. Dec-15-10    hms123: <MAJ> That was my strategy as well, but it didn't help that I had the first letter wrong. Dec-15-10    OhioChessFan: ZIJ was immediate. Too bad work and stuff gets in the way. Dec-15-10    Domdaniel: I had to keep both 'tsar' and 'czar' in mind? Does one come more naturally in American and t'other in Queen's English? Dec-15-10    Domdaniel: <MAJ> Congrats on your 10th, btw. Unless we hear from Quthulg soon, you'll catch up with the lead ... Dec-15-10    Domdaniel: Lot of games in ECO codes A14, B14, C14, D14 and E14. I've seen a few ... Dec-15-10    dakgootje: Objectively you strayed quite far from the original clue. Got a feeling way too far, but I have been wrong before :) When I first found out it was exactly 1/4 I thought it might be the game in the DB which is exactly there. With 572k DB that is about game 143k, but perhaps there are openings due to deleted games - so I really would not know how to search for it. Dec-15-10    MostlyAverageJoe: <Domdaniel: <MAJ> Congrats on your 10th> Thanks. <showoff>I guess you're not counting this one, which I did not click on purpose: B Rabar vs B Tot, 1956 </showoff> Dec-15-10    cormier: i agree about 5.Bd2 may only draw in The World vs NP .... have a good day ..... tks Dec-15-10    hms123: <Dom> I am really not sure which spelling preferred. I think this is where the crossword puzzle experience tripped me up. I think the <s> is used slightly more often just because it leaves open more options for the crossing words. Dec-15-10    dakgootje: Already tried the clue with the new hint domd? :) Dec-15-10    Annie K.: It's not a game between the 28th and 52nd placed players on the current FIDE rating list... not even the women's list. <Dom> innaresting about tz vs ts. I recall we discussed the pronunciation of Pirc at some point - I wrote it as Peertz, and you wrote it as Peerts. Same difference, as they say ;) - referencing the same sound (which is written as "c" in Hungarian, btw) - but I do prefer the 'tz' version just "intuitively". :) Dec-15-10    dakgootje: There is a catalan sequence or something like that; but it was not the 2852nd catalan game in the Database either :P The name of the person it is named after seems logical - but I ran through a lot of those as did ragh, so that lost some of its plausibility. Moreover, google does not know the number and if it was a well-known sequence you would expect it would've been written down somewhere. So perhaps the sequence has 2 unknowns where this time for the other unknown a logical number like 1 or 2 has been taken. But that would be too vague. Oh, I give up for the night. Dec-15-10    Annie K.: However, Google does show something amusing... ;p Dec-15-10    dakgootje: you mean that someone asked for help at some other forum? Yeah well, it is within the rules of the game obviously but its a bit.. It's just like doing crosswords and if you don't instantly know a word you grab the dictionary. Dec-15-10    Annie K.: <dakkie> yeah, that's what I meant. Going to a dictionary is at least doing a *little* work on your own. ;p This is just tacky to the max. Hmm, <Dom> is being very quiet, this probably means he's pursuing some trail...? ;) Dec-15-10    NakoSonorense: This is great. That user even posted the hint on that forum! Dec-15-10    hms123: http://forums.colbertnation.com/?pa... Dec-15-10    hms123: <Nako> Sorry to have re-posted but I had some typos.
