 | | LIFE Master AJ: I guess I will just tell you ... since you might not ever e-,mail me ... "You-know-who" tried to post a bunch of crap (negative comments) on my video, he even used a version of one of his previous handles ... it didn't work, however. |

Code, admittedly, but it was once cracked by a Lemming. |

| | Domdaniel: <AJ> He's a stalker. Remember what Tony Hopkins doing Hannibal Lecter quoting Marcus Aurelius said? "Consider each individual thing in itself. Ask what is its nature..." What does a stalker do? It stalks.
But it's a pity you have to deal with it on multiple fronts. And backs. |

| | LIFE Master AJ: G McCarthy vs M Kennefick, 1977 This game is VERY nice ... I like it alot ... I like the FOUR QUEENS on the board so early! Unique! |

| | Domdaniel: <Jess> Did you hear that Flann O'Brien was 100 years old sometime this month? I'd wish him the best but the grumpy old genius is Myles away, as usual. This is a man who dedicated one of his novels to his guardian angel, to make sure that there would be no misunderstandings when he got to the other side. He *said* he played Alekhine. I know I played his brother, the Professor. I have a Mylesian Alekhine number of two. Unless, like many brothers, they weren't on speaking or chess-playing terms. |

| | Domdaniel: <AJ> Thanks. My opponent, Kennefick, was 2300 and just back from a successful olympiad. I was in my first grown-up tournament with real players. I played the opening weakly, he underestimated me, and overlooked a trick in the four Queens line. Just before he resigned, I overheard the author Tim Harding say "it could be a draw if the Queens go on taking everything else..." It's been downhill ever since. |

| | LIFE Master AJ: Yes, I agree with you that M.F. is a stalker; but to me, he is more of a joke ... nowadays. |

 | | Richard Taylor: <Domdaniel> Interesting point re that fork you missed via Carlsen's game... I was playing through a game of Alekhine's and he commented on one tactic he played that he didn't know. It was as though he had studied and classified thousands of thematic tactical ideas... But one of his greatest moves in a game (I played through about three books of his games over the last year or so in the old books I have had for some years in "English" or descriptive notation) was a very "simple" and unexpected... a move worthy of Capablanca himself. In fact it was his "positional" knowledge that impressed me most. The tactics and combos with these strong players are important but are the icing on the cake. There was also a brilliant strategical "switch move". Must dig it out. (Your game was good also.) |

| | Domdaniel: <branko> The authorities also think my first name is Daniel. Don't tell anyone, OK? |

| | Richard Taylor: I read "At Swim two Birds" (by Flann O'Brien) just a month or so ago. It is very good. It was one recommended in a book called "1001 Books You Must Read before you die" !! I see Ireland lost. I'm not big on rugby but I watched the All Blacks beat Argentina tonight. But I was most interested in a docu about air collisions etc! So I was flicking between the game and that.... then a series drama that looked good about the Borgias... I don't usually watch much TV but that looked good. I'm currently playing through "Rubinsteins 100 Masterpieces" from a book (Dover paper back ed. by Hans Kmoch) I had (or my father did) about 1963) ... Also I found qnt looked like an interesting book on chess study called
'Studying Chess Made Easy' by Andrew Soltis. |

| | Richard Taylor: But you are right about names. People are 'electrified' when they see their own names. That is quite natural. Pity you had this cyber hassle and bullying (I didn't know what a sock-puppet was but I used good old Google)... Good that CG.com are helping. On FICS when I get people abusing me I just put them on ignore or whatever it is; but when I did it the other day I had no more ignore room!! My objection isn't to what they say but that it beeps annoyingly while I'm playing and I only play 3 0 or 1 0 games...I mostly lose. It is all pretty trivial. I mostly laugh when I lose especially if I make a stupid blunder and I always congratulate my opponents regardless of the result...but some of them argue about that!! Red Hot Pawn is better but I haven't much time just now for Corres. Chess. I was thinking of coaching chess though. But I need a car to be going and just now mine isn't.
Oh well, all seems to be going well (as can be expected or hoped perhaps) in the world for now! Al the best everyone! There are a lot of people in NZ of Irish (and Scottish) descent so... More are possibly of English derivation like I am but most wont admit to that! It's a funny old world! Oh, and, yes, Transtromer is old. but I think he is really good...I think the factors of the award are not that writer (say) is the "best"...but a mix of factors...NZ's Keri Hulme wrote great book with "The Bone People" but hasn't written much else. I praised her book and she thanked me, she is apparently not too well (or very happy?) and appreciated it, but it IS worth reading...(I "meet" her on line quite lot...)another NZ writer who is really good is the poet Michelle Leggott... |

| | LIFE Master AJ: Hello! How are you today?
Very pleased with the new video. Nice comments, getting close to 175 views, a couple of positive e-mails, several nice comments on this website ... Lost a long training game to Fritz last night. (I got mad and deleted it.) Now I am sorry that I did that, I actually got past move 60+, against Fritz 12 ... that's not bad. IF you are curious, I posted a G/35 min game I lost, its in <Morfishine>'s forum ... if you are interested. Its amazing. I play and win vs, most humans. I play the bloody _____ machine ... and it makes me feel like a beginner sometimes! I am (re-) annotating the famous Morphy game (Morphy vs Duke Karl / Count Isouard, 1858) ... its almost done ... that will be the next video. Have a great day. |

Nice thought, though. |

| Oct-12-11 | | brankat: <Domdaniel> I think You'll this one :-) "Cherished chess! The charms of thy chequered chambers chain me changelessly. Chaplains have chanted thy charming choiceness; Chieftains have changed the chariot and the chase for the chaster C Chivalry of the chessboard, and the cheerier charge of chess-knights. Chaste-eyed Caissa! For thee are the chaplets of chainless charity and The chalice of child-like cheerfullness. No chilling churl, no cheating chaferer, No chattering changeling, no chanting charlatan can be thy champion; The chivalrous, the charitable, and the cheerful are the chosen ones thou cherishest. Chance cannot change thee; from childhood to the charnelhouse, From our first childish chirpings to the chills of the churchyard, Thou art cheery, changeless chieftainess. Chastener of the churlish, Chider of the changeable, cherisher of the chagrined, The chapter of thy chiliad charms should be chanted by cherubic chimes, And chiseled on chalcedon in cherubic chirography."

| Oct-12-11 | | dakgootje: <and "Dom" short for family name> Dom "The Don" Daniel :D
Speakinowitch, what exactly is the origin of your name domd? Perhaps I've asked before - in which case I'll ask again in the future, as I forget what I'd want to remember and remember what I'd like to forget. Know thyself and know thy elf. Anyway, speaking of my and thy - would there be a relation with Muay Thai? "We didn't know if it was mine or thine, so we Muay Thaid entwined in time." Foolishness.
Perhaps you figured mister Daniel Freeman would never ban your name. Would the name Morgan be related to the Dutch/German for morning? |

By stunning coincidence, <Morgan Daniel> is <mack>, one of <dom daniel's> best friends online and IRL as well. <Morgan> is one of the best men I ever met online. Daniel I mean. I never met Morgan Freeman, although he's invited me over to parties at his house several times. Sorry to just barge in like this- I gotta go, Paul McCartney invited a few of us over for tea and acid at his two up, three down bungalow in Shepard's Bush. I'll be back in a few days with proper posts, the kind that don't spring from random lurking when you haven't slept for 72 hours. |

| Oct-12-11 | | dakgootje: <Uyl> I was going to comment on your fabulous memory until I saw the explaining post was but little more than a week old. Still, thank your mister santa! All I want for Christmas is a funny hat and a beard. <Jess: By stunning coincidence> No, I'm pretty sure it's a conspiracy. Now all to figure is who where and when. The why is obvious: money or world domination. Preferably both - as it'd suck to own the whole world but turn a net loss. |

| | Domdaniel: <dak> A Domdaniel - it's a noun - is a magician's castle under the sea. From an 18th century French translation of '1001 Nights'. 'Morgan' has nothing to do with the Germanic 'morgen' -- it's Welsh for Pelagius: 'man of the sea'. All this Freeman-talk reminds me of a passage from 'Lethal Me', a short story I published in a 'zine in olden times. "I am the white male mathematician, the holy ghost in the machine. I go without saying. I sprang from their clutches, a free man.
There is no such thing as a free woman. We tried, sledgehammer and me, we tried, but the system doesn't work that way." |

Quick who wrote this line burritos for the winner
"I hit him with the shovel until my arms grew tired." Extra sauce if you can name the novel. |
