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 745 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> Aug-09-11    Domdaniel: A *Dom Number* is a number which will work tomorrow, maybe, probably. A Dom Number plus a Real Number plus a Dak Number equals a *Jam Number*. From the phrase "Jam yesterday, jam today, jam tomorrow", popularised by the British Tory prime minister, Sir William 'Billy' Bunter, Bart. Sir William, a renowned classical scholar and Old Greyfriarsian, liked to murmur "Caesar adsum jam forte" when faced with a decision. He was rotten at maths. His claim that the national debt would soon be paid off by "a postal order from America, or China" was proven hollow when he closed down the postal service. Aug-09-11    OhioChessFan: I don't know what these numbers are, but it is very interesting to me that <Trees> are beating out <All> in whatever is being measured. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jh_xMGqQw... Aug-09-11    dakgootje: DDR = Jam? Who knew! I wouldn't have stormed that wall, if I had jam all day every day. Sure, there wasn't that much freedom - but sugary treats a-plenty! Aug-09-11    dakgootje: It's also encouraging to see the average dom is higher this month than previous month. Didn't know you were still growing http://economistsoutlook.blogs.real... Aug-09-11    OhioChessFan: The more common usage of a DOM Number is in real estate wherein DOM = Days On Market. Like golf scores, the higher the worse it is. Here's an enlightening chart from a real estate agent: http://images.quickblogcast.com/7/5... Aug-09-11    Domdaniel: A *real* estate agent? I thought they were an urban myth, like estate cars and estate managers. I'm in surreal estate m'self. I suppose a Dom number might also be 'date of martyrdom', to be supplied at the virgin desk. Aug-11-11    Domdaniel: 'Trees' is an anagram of 'ester' and 'reset'. The rest is e. Aug-12-11    rusich: You must be a very wise woman, Domdaniel. Aug-12-11    Domdaniel: And your powers of deduction are remarkable, Rusich, though only accurate in parts. Aug-13-11    rusich: Do you know a lot about cartesian circle, Domdaniel? Aug-13-11    dakgootje: Posing the question "Do you know a lot about (...), Domdaniel?" is very, <very> dangerous. Especially when it deals with something vaguely related to literature, maths, languages, science or -indeed- life itself. You have been warned. Albeit too late. Aug-13-11    Domdaniel: <Do you know a lot about cartesian circle, Domdaniel?> I gave mon cher ami, Rene, the idea in the first place. I'd just beaten him in a Double Muzio - the old Bh6# routine - and I said, "Look at h6, there, voila, oui, now imagine a set of orthogonal number axes ..." "We'd need a zero", he said sourly. "Where on the chessboard is le chiffre, eh?" I quietly indicated the bottom left corner of the square a1. "That's just the positive quadrant, of course", I said. "You'll need three more. Then you can describe a unit circle, inscribe an equiangular triangle, and pinpoint the three cube roots of negative unity. For starters." "Excusez-moi, mon ami", he said. "I 'ave just remembered I have to give Fermat a call about his last theorem." This was about a week after I invented the French Defence - *La* Defense. Of course les Rosbifs and les Boches stole my Calculus... Aug-13-11    Domdaniel: That reminds me ... a *sine* is the ratio between two of the sides in a right-angled triangle: in Latin, 'sinus'. And human noses, in profile, form Pythagorean triangles -- usually [3, 4, 5], though cases of [5, 12, 13] and [8, 15, 17] have been observed. Aug-13-11    OhioChessFan: <Dom: 'Trees' is an anagram of 'ester' and 'reset'. The rest is e.> Thanks for your terse post. Aug-13-11    hms123: <dak> You were too late. Aug-13-11    Domdaniel: The Japanese have haiku verse But only G-d can makes us terse. Aug-13-11    Domdaniel: <dak> Speaking of life itself, have you noticed that 'DNA' backwards is 'and' - and 'and', grammatically speaking, is a *copula*. Now, if I could only think of a connection between 'copula' and 'life' ... In the Irish tongue, the word for 'horse' is 'cappall', pronounced, roughly, 'cop-ull' and related no doubt to 'cheval' and 'caballo'. When it was made known in Ireland that the French actually *ate* horses - rather than simply betting on them - it was said that the French were a nation of cappall-aters. Aug-13-11    OhioChessFan: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/... Aug-13-11    OhioChessFan: The Japanese have nothing on the Chessgamesonians. Raymond Allen Weinstein 5/7/5 to the meter, a cubic stere? <But only G-d can makes us terse.> An odd formulation, that G-d thing. It's okay to print 2/3 of the letters but you'll incur divine wrath if you complete the trinity? A 3-D stere issue, I hope I don't steer you wrong. Aug-13-11    Domdaniel: <Ohio> Hmm. I thought even the Huff might be more up to date with the research. A Belgian named Dehaene has been writing books about the number sense for 20 years. I have my own theory - about the logarithmic nature of fianchettoed bishops - which I may expound some day. Aug-13-11    OhioChessFan: <Now, if I could only think of a connection between 'copula' and 'life' ...> The US Capitol has a copula on top, and life inside, though not intelligent life. Aug-13-11    Domdaniel: Some of those parasites are pretty smart. They need to be, given the creatures that feed off 'em. They've also evolved some curious niche abilities ... like the ones who live in pockets and speak through orifices never meant for that purpose. Aug-14-11    dakgootje: <if I could only think of a connection between 'copula' and 'life' ..> Guess you should look when they co-apere. As an obscure dak-proverb goes; 'look and it shall happen together; pull and it shall bond together' or, a bit shorter: <'peer to co-apere; pull to co-apula'> Might make that my unusual [and fairly useless] motto. Aug-14-11    dakgootje: Once read, might've even been written or quoted by Once, that you should seriously consider deleting fragments you think are especially proud of, or think are especially clever. Thing about it is.. you're left with posts that already at the first glance make sense. Such boredom. heh, bore dom. whahaha, unintential word-jokes are the best :D I promise I do not have the intention of piercing you with some rotary cutting instrument, sir! Aug-14-11    dakgootje: Speaking of which - seeing how Daniel Freeman is the web<master> of this site; should we presume this site belongs to kingdom daniel?
