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 654 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> Dec-20-10    crawfb5: I had kind of thought of Umansky but I got sidetracked with Dec 21 birthdays first...Suttles, etc. Dec-20-10    Domdaniel: <Nako> deserved it. He's as well-tuned to the CG wavelength as anyone. Well, anyone with a non-feline avatar, at least. Dec-20-10    Annie K.: Better, in this case. I haven't thought of Umansky either, and I should have - ceegee had done this before. Did I mention they are really good people? ;) <I won't even bother asking if you're always right about everything.> Heh. :) Dec-20-10    Domdaniel: There are pieces of Korean cars falling from the sky. It's raining Datsun cogs. Dec-20-10    Domdaniel: Japanese cars, I mean. Still can't drive, never asked one where it was from. Bit like snakes, rilly. Dec-20-10    NakoSonorense: <Dom> It seems like I bring you luck and vice versa. I solved #25 and then you came back two clues later and got #27. Then I solved #38 and soon after you solved #41. And now you first found #52 and then I got #53. Nothing but a coincidence, of course. Dec-20-10    Annie K.: <Nako> hey, congrats, while we have you here! Well done. Dec-20-10    Domdaniel: Well, I've had my fun for the day. ♘, owls, and sundry semi-domesticated creatures ... Dec-20-10    Annie K.: ♘e6! Now maybe I'll have some time to answer that mail... ;) Dec-20-10    Domdaniel: <Nako> congrats ... a bunch of us on 3 now ... still time for a 4th? Sure, plenty. One each, of course... ;) <Annie> ... [I'll just hang around awhile, see if anyone's listening ... ssshhh ...] Dec-20-10    Annie K.: Just talking to myself here, since nobody is around... ;) I don't do this hanging by the computer after announcing I'm going to bed... fact, but that just <may be> related to another fact, being that I usually check in from my IPhone every now and then even after going to bed, not to mention whenever I happen to wake up... :p Dec-20-10    pulsar: <Domdaniel> Thanks! I barely made a dint on the 1001 list this year, but I hope to do better next year. On finding the prize, I even surprised myself there. There's always the first time, I guess. :) Happy holidays! Dec-20-10    pulsar: And I just noticed, you solved two clues already. That makes you a pro, congrats! Dec-21-10    Domdaniel: <Annie> I *did* quickly type [a reply 'last night'/'earlier today'/'sometime on Tuesday', but the CG site mysteriously crashed, so I gave up. It only said something like] -- <must get one of those when I have the shekels> ... Dec-21-10    Domdaniel: <Pulsar> Thanks. Three, now - which is what I got last year. But I want to do *better* than last year ... Dec-21-10    Domdaniel: Timestamp: 10:00 on the frozen West Yurp Periphery. One klu down overnight: 10 to go... Dec-21-10    SwitchingQuylthulg: <Annie K.: I figured it would be a numeric code, since TinEye returned only the same pic without the colors> Thanks for that - I'd completely forgotten about TinEye, which made solving the latest clue that much easier :-) Santa probably shouldn't claim holiday presents, so I switched back to my original avatar. Dec-21-10    dakgootje: Wow WHAT?! When did that last clue come on? :| Dec-21-10    Domdaniel: <Annie> Replied to your mail. Like a civilized person and a good boy. And, while I was 'away', I missed a Klu in its entirety. <Quylthulg> Congrats! Stung into action, he re-enters the list, regains sole 2nd place, despite this inconvenient timezone. SPICE cup, eh? I'd have thought of that ... eventually. Dec-21-10    Domdaniel: I'd have tried Narciso Victoria first, though, for obvious reasons ... Dec-21-10    crawfb5: That would have been an odd moment for me had it been so. Her only game is N Victoria vs D Taffinder, 2006. I knew Doug when he was growing up. Dec-21-10    Domdaniel: <crawf> That's the sort of thing that happens in the chess world, isn't it? I think I've played two of the participants in this year's clue games. In simuls, admittedly. "The doors opened, and he peered nervously into the elevator. Thirty years, he thought. Standing there was ... a total stranger. Big world." Dec-21-10    Domdaniel: I have unearthed evidence that Samuel Beckett, in his chess-themed play <Endgame> (Fin de Partie) ... *invented ringtones*: <(Enter Clov with alarrn-clock. He holds it against Hamm's ear And releases alarm.They listen to it ringing to the end. Pause.) CLOV: Fit to wake the dead! Did you hear it? HAMM: Vaguely. CLOV: The end is terrific! HAMM: I prefer the middle.> Of course it's also a chess clock. But who *listened* to the sound of a ringing clock/phone in the 1950s? Maybe a blind chessplayer, like Hamm? Some phone companies owe somebody a lot of money. The Beckett estate will thank me for this, after the lawsuits. Dec-21-10    Domdaniel: <devilish> ... Don't *say* much, do you? Innaresting. Dec-21-10    Domdaniel: Been out slippin' and slidin' and slushin' and freezin' my butt off. Not that there was much to begin with. That posh bint still the last one to go, then?
