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 658 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> Dec-21-10    Domdaniel: True. Why does that idiot think it has something to do with me, d'ya think? Oh, why do eejits do anything. Rhetorical question. Sigh. Nuklu, plz. Dec-21-10    Annie K.: Eh, he confuses Daniel Freeman, addressed above, with you. Dec-21-10    Domdaniel: So it seems. Price of fame, I guess. I was a free man in Paris. Dec-21-10    hms123: <DanielDom> Confusing names lead to confusion--especially in confused people. You can con infused people some of the time, but...oh wait..I'm confused myself. Or I confused myself--whatever. Dec-21-10    Domdaniel: <hms> *You* are *shams*? Who's M*A*S*H ...? I wonder what the Book of Denial sez. Dec-21-10    Annie K.: <I was a free man in Paris.> Heh... yes, I understand you'll want to be very anonymous if you ever go back there? ;) <hms> good luck, anyway. :) Dec-21-10    Domdaniel: The mo has been quite taken out of my mentum. Heed us, Nuklu. Heed not those who cite ratings And other heresies. Come 4th, Nuklu. Behind Vishy, Maggy, and the Other One. We beseech Thee. O Nuklu. Dec-21-10    Annie K.: <Dom> that reminds me, there's Caissa too, so we'll be going multitheist any day now... they better not be jealous. :s Dec-21-10    Domdaniel: I'll have an infusion of what he's having. And drink to the health of Her Majesty, of course. Who knew that BETTY was crypto for QUEEN ... ?? Dec-21-10    Annie K.: That was in some klu or other wuzznit? I seem to recall... Dec-21-10    Domdaniel: Yep. And 'Betty', not altogether improbably, is among the nicks of HM Elizabeth Windsor. As is Brenda. Queens, eh? Dec-21-10    jessicafischerqueen: <Dom> no, he's not confused. I doubt he even read my post, since his came within seconds of mine. He is referring to your comments further up the thread about the chess puzzles in which you praise the brainpower of the members able to solve them. Some people feel a bit foolish that they can't even read the clues. I am one of those people. However, to quote JFK, "I applaud your vigor"! and "We will go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard." What a MANLY man he was. It's true! Just ask Marilyn Monroe. Dec-21-10    Domdaniel: Neat, btw. It *almost* looks *just* like a discussion of those innaresting cryptic clues that CG spring on us this time of year. Yanno, letters can actually turn into Numbers? And some folk will read anything therein. Should I call it a ♘ or will I yell at Nuklu some more ...? Best await my ETA in 27 mins, at least, I suppose ... For we Knoweth Not the Hour, though verily we have the Day nailed. Dec-21-10    Annie K.: I knew that, ackshly, though I can't remember from where right now. I've been looking for Queens recently wot with that Anastasia klu. Ya never know where they'll pop up next... thasswhy most chess books don't even try to teach Queen endgames, nesspah? ;) Dec-21-10    Domdaniel: As an acknowledged *human sponge* - with a tendency to absorb and rehash the style of anything he reads - I'd better avoid the KJB and the Books of Denial & Jobs for the time being. It's catching, the beseeching mode. Sibboleth. Dec-21-10    Domdaniel: I hadn't noticed how Sibboleth sounded like the name of a famous shepherd and the associated disease. Funny, that. The theory of ♕ endings has been turned upside down at least twice in my chessic lifetime. I have zines from the 1980s in which Edmar Mednis demonstrates wins in positions once thought drawn ... and later discovered to be drawn after all, if you walked the tablebase tightrope with the right amount of topspin and gyre. Dec-21-10    Annie K.: <Should I call it a ♘ or will I yell at Nuklu some more ...?> I'll stick around for the ETA too, I think, :) although I'm also feeling tired "early" today. Can I answer mail tomorrow? ;) Dec-21-10    Domdaniel: <Jess> You reckon? A thicko, either way. Three cheers, btw. Though I think it just pits a small amount of them against a small number of us, to marginal effect, as usual. Call me a faithless sceptic. Dec-21-10    Domdaniel: <Can I answer mail tomorrow? ;)> That would be nice. ;-) Dec-21-10    Annie K.: Thx! ;) <a small amount of them against a small number of us> Well said. :D Dec-21-10    Domdaniel: <Jess> - <I am one of those people. > Like, heh. You just don't sit still long enough. It's like fly-fishing, only you have to spill your seed in a cultural desert. Demmit, going biblic again. Nuklu preserve me. Dec-21-10    Domdaniel: There goes my ETA. [I'll just hang around a bit before playing ♘e6 ...] Dec-21-10    Annie K.: <Nuklu preserve me.> In spirit? ;) [another 10 mins...?] Dec-21-10    Domdaniel: The spirit moves upon the bat's elbow. The comet wanders the lawn in confusion. Decrypt for us, Nuklu. I flipped for us, Nuklu. Dec-21-10    Annie K.: I has a feeling it's past bedtime at both ends... ;p ♘e6! :) Jump to page #   (enter # from 1 to 963) search thread:    < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 658 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing>
