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 884 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> Dec-21-13    Annie K.: That's pretty enlightened, ackshly. I do that too. :) Dec-21-13    Domdaniel: <MAJ> Yeah, my current internet connection is a bit wonky. So is my laptop, actually. But I'm living at a temporary RL address, so can't really fix these until I move. Dec-21-13    MostlyAverageJoe: <Domdaniel: ... a complicated system> That's another topic on which <CG> has been ignoring good advice for years: chessgames.com chessforum Dec-21-13    Domdaniel: Since 2007, eh? Where does the time go? Speaking of time, no more Nukluery for me tonight. G'♘, all... Dec-21-13    Annie K.: G'♘! Dec-21-13    Domdaniel: Nah, I give up. Tried <Land> ... et al. Chandler vs N Hjelm, 2005 has nautical refs ... tenuous, tho'. Dec-21-13    MostlyAverageJoe: Got hoisted by my own petard: checked everyone whose name anagramized to 'enas'. Instead of thinking. Arrrrrr.... Dec-21-13    Alien Math: <MostlyAverageJoe: I think you used http://www.tineye.com , right? Try this instead: https://www.google.com/imghp> For use of Google image search, select camera icon <Search by image> paste image URL, Able click image found, open towards a new tab, or right click and search Google for this image, Sometime select one of, Find other sizes of this image: All sizes Large Medium Small, Other time select <Visually similar images> Most time the search provide <Best guess for this image: > Dec-22-13    Domdaniel: Argh. I had 'beholding' but hadn't seen 'Aronian' in the 1st part. So still a step or two behind when it was solved ... Dec-22-13    Domdaniel: <alien math> Thanks for that advice. I'm not very good with images -- I prefer words, despite having worked as an art critic and film critic. But with your help I will now be more confident in navigating google images. Dec-22-13    Domdaniel: I see I missed a couple of easy-ish ones earlier today ... tho' I'd probably have been too slow. Dec-22-13    MostlyAverageJoe: If you remembered Blackburne's nickname, then #52 would be easy. I suspect Sastre knew it right off the bat -- the clue was gone very quickly. I was too sleepy to think, checked one game by M Sparrow on the off-chance, and only got to googling "black death site:chessgames.com" when it was gone. Dec-22-13    Domdaniel: <MAJ> I'd recently been looking at Blackburne games, coincidentally -- I was looking for annotations in descriptive notation, which still survive on a few of his games. But yes, the nickname seems obvious to me. But, hey, I was asleep, so it doesn't count... I see you've had some near misses, btw. Your day will come. Dec-22-13    Domdaniel: "I put the 'sell' into 'celebrity', the 'hell' into 'hello' ... " Hmm ... I wonder where that comes from... Dec-22-13    MostlyAverageJoe: <Domdaniel: ... Your day will come.> Alas, not this year, I am afraid. Social obligations piled up, starting today and covering most of tomorrow. My wife vetoed the idea of taking my laptop to the parties... So it looks like <Switch> will become a solitary leader at 27, followed by me at 26, and <kevinatcausa> with 19. Kevin and Switch are done for this year. You have 15 and 3 more chances, <BVer> has 15 and 2 more chances, <AnimusEtOblivio> has 14 with 3 more changes, and <JamesBJames> is done for this year with 13 total. Dec-22-13    Domdaniel: <MAJ> -- < My wife vetoed the idea of taking my laptop to the parties...> I know the feeling ... a couple of years ago I brought my laptop to the dinner table, and suddenly a Klu -- it involved counting snowflakes, and was pretty easy -- came up. I won it, but I wasn't very popular at home... Dec-22-13    Domdaniel: I'm not sure if I should bother waiting around for another Klu tonight .... there are only a couple of days left, and I'll miss them when they're gone... Dec-22-13    Domdaniel: Persons to my West (ie, USA) -- good luck, with later Klus. Persons to my East (ie, Hungary, Israel) -- isn't it time you got some sleep? Dec-22-13    Domdaniel: Eh? I somehow missed #54 entirely, despite being logged in at the time. Oh, I give up... Dec-22-13    Domdaniel: Oh, I give up ... again. Dec-22-13    Domdaniel: As I said already: those to my west (ie, USA & Canada), good luck with later clues. Those to my east ... get some sleep, hey? Dec-22-13    Annie K.: Oh, ok... ;) Dec-22-13    Domdaniel: <Annie> So you *do* sleep occasionally? I was starting to wonder ... Dec-22-13    Annie K.: Well, I suppose you could call it sleeping... ;s Dec-22-13    Domdaniel: Touche. Heh.
