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 668 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> Dec-24-10    Domdaniel: The next OTB tournament I plan to play in is organized in memory of Edmund Noel Mulcahy You never know ... Dec-24-10    OhioChessFan: <Go memorize some hymns, ye heathens.> You know.....I might have sung that song last Sunday...I couldn't possibly be that forgetful could I? Dec-24-10    Domdaniel: I even read a story on the front page of today's (London) Guardian, about the dwindling shepherds in the Bethlehem area. On accounta keeping sheep is too much trouble, between IDF checkpoints and new hilltop settlements taking the water and grazing land. Ah well, maybe their demise is meant to hasten the End Times, or something. Nuklu's End Times are certainly at hand. Dec-24-10    Annie K.: <Annie K.: How long ago did I say "within two hours or so"? ;)> No, srsly, I can't remember. :p Was I close? Dec-24-10    Domdaniel: <Annie> You were close. Maybe nearer three hours in the end, I'm not sure. Dec-24-10    Annie K.: Kewl, close enough for me. :) Thx! Dec-24-10    twinlark: <Domdaniel> It's the summer time now, and we're all drowning. At least some of the kindy and primary school kids have been demanding to know what the wet stuff is that keeps falling from the sky. New centuries bring new challenges I guess, like learning to recognise and live with rain and other unexpected precipitations. Dams full of the wet stuff is another unique Aussie experience for anyone younger than 120, or 40 anyway. Life's a beach and then you dye...your hair blonde and reincarnate as a surfie. Too many surfies on the beach bro'. So I remain at home in the Australian Highlands doing the Canberra Cannes Cannes impersonation by indulging in a critiqual DVD marathon with Lady Sheila Spouse and our immediate descendants, well the three that I know of. The others are lucky they don't exist, or failing that, don't know better. Vegie roast coming up (down in your equatorially challenged archipelago), and then on to downing (...) generous tipples of Peach Schnapps. It's so unAustralian, the temptation was oscarwilded. Dec-24-10    cro777: <Domdaniel: Lexicographical note: the <Afritzionado> is a solitary species, but <Spacebar Masters> are gregarious.> ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE Spacebar Master: 1)as a dismissive term: afritzionado, arybkanator etc, one who blindly follows top computer lines; therefore, not worthy (indignus) to play against one of the best female chess players in the world, with current rating over 2500 and IQ of her husband 150. 2) as a badge of pride (working on it) Dec-24-10    Domdaniel: <cro777> Heh. I like it. Of course a *badge* of pride can be worn under any circumstances ... solidarity, in-it-togetherness, etc. One doesn't strictly need an actual achievement to be proud of, though it helps. And we haven't done *badly*, under the (weighted) conditions. Dec-24-10    Domdaniel: <twinlark> Enjoy. I blame that Peter Weir. He introduced ersatz Hollywood rain to The Formerly Pristine Continent in the 1970s, and some of it escaped and bred like, well, rabbits. Although Melbourne had some previously by special dispensation of Queen Victoria. Dec-24-10    cro777: Still, I'm trying to rationalise (always in an ironic form) this pirouette from a dismissive to proud. Dec-24-10    Annie K.: Rain? In Oz, in summer? How bizarre. So what's the new national pastime gonna be, if you can't complain about the drought? Must '(We'll All Be Rooned) Said Hanrahan' be retired? :s ;) Dec-24-10    OhioChessFan: <crospacebar: not worthy (indignus) to play against one of the best female chess players in the world, with current rating over 2500 and IQ of her husband 150.> Has PZ made that comment about his IQ? If it's 150, I think I could identify 20 people off the top of my head on the World Team who have that beat. Dec-24-10    Domdaniel: <Annie> They have Boree Logs in Israstalia? Oy strewth. And begorrah. Dec-24-10    Domdaniel: <Ohio> I don't actually know where the PZ IQ claim was made, or if it was made. It might be a slander that went viral, or a story that seemed plausible -- it has been repeated a few times, mainly on the game page. It's equally possible that it's true. As for the team, of course you're right. How do I go about getting one of these IQ rating things anyhow? Do I have to beat up stupider people, if I can find any? Dec-24-10    cro777: Yes, we have to find a certain number of stupider peaple. Dec-24-10    Domdaniel: <cro> - < (always in an ironic form) > I'm a big fan of irony, as many people have noticed. Some haven't, and therefore think me insane. But it's not true that Americans don't 'do' irony -- many are very good at it, in a laid-back kinda way. They tend to be the ones who don't use 'lol' overmuch. Unless ironically, of course. <mack> and I have collaborated on a theory of irony based around what I call <The Implied Bimbo>. Some literary theorists talk about an Implied Reader to whom a text is addressed -- the Implied Bimbo (no gender imputed) is the other, less acute reader who fails to 'get' an ironic statement - and on whose imagined existence the success of irony depends. Gee, I dunno. Wouldn't *jokes* be simpler? Happy Christmas, at 00:01 hours on the 25th, Western Bimbo Time ... Dec-24-10    crawfb5: <How do I go about getting one of these IQ rating things anyhow? Do I have to beat up stupider people, if I can find any?> That's the fun part. I can provide a long list of candidates if needed. Do with them as you will, just don't send them back. Dec-24-10    Annie K.: <Dom: <Oy strewth. And begorrah.>> Hee hee. I like that, I really like that! :D Dec-24-10    cro777: ANSWER FROM THE EDITORIAL STAFF OF THE ENCYCLOPEDIA TO MY ARTICLE ON SPACEBAR MASTERS (After verification from an expert on the subject) SPACEBAR MASTER (Conceptional meaning of the phrase) 1)as a dismissive term: arybkanator, afritzionado, ahoudiniado etc, one who blindly follows top computer lines; therefore, not worthy (indignus) to play against one of the best female chess players in the world, with current rating over 2500 and IQ of her husband 150. 2) as a badge of pride: the specific, mostly positive emotion that is product of independent self-reflection; some social psychologists identify it as a proof of a very high level of play of the World Team. Dec-24-10    Domdaniel: Computers *and* positive emotions? People will say we're in love ... Dec-24-10    cro777: Positive emotions connected with the phrase. Associative meaning. Dec-24-10    Domdaniel: <ASCAP (American Society of Composers and Publishers) workers sit in a room in Manhattan all day, listening to excerpts from radio programs all over the country. To be efficient at their job, and indeed to be hired in the first place, they have to be able to name a song and the performer within just three to five seconds before writing it down in the log and moving on ...> Daniel Levitin, This is your Brain on Music Feels familiar, somehow ... Dec-24-10    Annie K.: Bloody junkies. ;) Dec-24-10    cro777: <OhioChessFan: Has PZ made that comment about his IQ? If it's 150, I think I could identify 20 people off the top of my head on the World Team who have that beat.> It would be easy. But in order to abjudicate his result you have to do just the opposite.
