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 904 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> Aug-10-14    Domdaniel: #1: an amusing neologism by <iking>: <Carlsen was mandandled in the endgame?> Here's to *mandandling*. There should be more of it. Aug-10-14    Domdaniel: A short story by Hannu Rajaniemi: http://web.archive.org/web/20050204... Derivative, I think. His novels are much better. Aug-13-14    Domdaniel: <Jess> I'm glad you found the Kevin Ayers song (good detective work, btw -- the other quote was 'Song from under the Floorboards' by Magazine -- I always think of them as comprising a genre containing just two songs). You know that Ayers died last year? He was in Soft Machine in the 60s ... if I had a time machine, I think I'd drop in to the UFO club, London, 1965-66, to see Barrett-era Pink Floyd with Ayers-era Soft Machine. And then maybe drop into the Athenaeum to see a Dylanesque Ray Keene in action ... Ayers is also reputed to be the subject of the John Cale song 'Guts'. I once posted a link to the lyrics here, and it got zapped. "Buggr in short sleeves forked my wife..." and so on. In later years Cale varied with the less in-your-face line "Bugr in the short sleeves loved his wife..." Ahh, Maisie... fresh as a daisy... from soul to poison soul... Sep-09-14    Shams: <Dom> How would you retake on f6? click for larger view Sep-15-14    OhioChessFan: <New York's Kira Kazantsev was crowned Miss America on Sunday -- becoming the third Miss New York in a row to win the title, a three-peat Kazantsev said would be 'monumental' before her win. But a typo that flashed on screen during her 'Pitch Perfect'-inspired performance is getting more attention than the performance itself. In a bid to reveal that Kazantsev loved 'anything Jane Austen,' broadcasters unintentionally informed the audience that she loved 'anything Jane Austin.' > http://www.aol.com/article/2014/09/... Sep-28-14    Domdaniel: <Ohio> Maybe it's just me, but I *hate* the word 'three-peat'. Twenty-three-peat, on the other hand... Sep-28-14    Annie K.: Oh, there you are. I was just about to consider calling you, I'll have you know. ;) What's this about not answering your messages, then? :p This is for you: Annie K. chessforum Sep-28-14    Domdaniel: <A> Ta. I'm alive, of course, as usual. In a manner of speaking. Various channels have been down, yanno... Sep-28-14    Annie K.: Hmmmph. Well, all right. You better stay around this time. :) Sep-28-14    Domdaniel: One can but try. It's undoubtedly true that other folk tend to try harder, but such is life, eh? Sep-28-14    dakgootje: Good to see you back, if only for a little while, DomD :) Sep-28-14    Domdaniel: <dak> -- <... if only for a little while ...> Heh. How did you guess? Sep-28-14    Annie K.: Simple, because you were invited to stay. Ask a harder question! ;p Sep-28-14    Domdaniel: A harder question? Uh, OK, I'll try. (1) Who said "Is Mrs Penguin at home?"? (2) Will the underdog win? Sep-28-14    Annie K.: (2) usually, in literature, not so often in reality, and speakina, I rather expect Carlsen to win his upcoming first title defense, which is one reason you should stick around. (1) Viv Stanshall, and I'm cheating, but I didn't Google it. Then how? :) PS - 1. Judit Polgar has always been a class act. 2. Susan is not Judit. Are these sentences related, or not? ;) The flagship is not rilly the place to hold a discussion on that, but there may just be a certain triciness there. :s Sep-29-14    dakgootje: I like the.. word-combination.. The sentence part; The senticle 'if only for a little while'. It has some.. relaxed kindness. Presumably due to 'For Those Who Can Still Ride in Airplanes for The First Time', by Anis Mojgani. Near the end, from 3:00 onwards, it's used twice in this little anecdote about reading a book with a kid on a bus. Rather like the performance, even though I haven't heard it for years :) Sep-30-14    OhioChessFan: An amusing linguistic mutation by <chessgames.com> on Chessgames Bookie chessforum <OK, our training phase has ended, a big round of applaud for <wordfunph> for volunteering to run the show.> Sep-30-14    OhioChessFan: Annie, my own sillygism: 1. The Kardashians are not a class act. 2. Susan is not a Kardashian. 3. But she could be. Oct-01-14    Annie K.: <Ohio> that works nicely. ;) Oct-02-14    Domdaniel: I'm not entirely sure what a Kardashian *is* ... well, OK, I have *some* idea... So. If Susan was a Kardashian, she'd be Kusan. Oct-02-14    Domdaniel: <Annie> Close, but not the full cigar. The line was supposedly spoken *to* Mr Stanshall, not by him. He had answered the doorbell wearing a penguin costume, with flippers. The innocent caller looked at him in horror and said "Is *Mrs* Penguin at home?" Oct-02-14    Annie K.: Sounds cute, if nitpicky. :p You yourself have attributed the line to Stanshall several times, for example here: Domdaniel chessforum :) Oct-02-14    Domdaniel: <A> I thought I might have done. Oh well, oy vey, und so weiter ... proof, if anyone still requires it, that I'm not actually infallible. Pope Dom XXIII Oct-06-14    Domdaniel: A Pynchon movie: the film of 'Inherent Vice' has been screened in New York. Doc Sportello lives. If you can call it living... Oct-06-14    Annie K.: Huh? I like the humor of the book, but what on Earth would it have going for it as a movie, other than the adult - if you can call it adult ;p - rating? A mess of barely developed, dodgy characters, no overall plot to speak of, and as subplots go, well, there's a dozen or so of them, all going nowhere. The director must be certifiable. :s Then again, I have no idea what movies are like these days...
