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

Frogspawn: Levity's Rainbow

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 905 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> Oct-06-14    Domdaniel: <A> Maybe a successor to the Dude, in The Big Lebowski? Oct-06-14    Domdaniel: But you're right, of course. According to the review I've seen, it's pretty funny, has no coherent plot, and is all over the place. But well performed, with Joaquin Phoenix as Doc. Oct-18-14    OhioChessFan: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/paul-... Got to love those words. I might start dropping some of them in every day conversation. Oct-18-14    Stonehenge: One of the comments: "Being the fopdoodle that she was, it took some effort to eschew coarse babblement and get onto the task of helping her friends compile a new cycopede, lest some ear-erecting sounds from her gastriloquist companions make her maffle an apology. Having agreed to the nuncupatory offer, she could not just obambulate all day. Despite her longinquity in the crowd, she could not be the rakeshame and so continued her tardigradous work in uptraining the kids, punctuated by some wranglesome jackpuddings who would often cause a hugger-mugger." Oct-18-14    Annie K.: Ouch. ;s Hon, here's an entire library I came across recently - some very good stuff, check it out. :) http://85.17.122.144/author.php?let... I'm linking to page A by author - note that clicking on any letter of the alphabet list across the top will take you to a whole page of authors. Not all the books are actually there - when you actually try to open them, you will find that some have been blocked by copyright request, and more may be blocked over time - but currently most are still there. I've been reading some Jasper Fforde over in F. ;) Oct-21-14    Fusilli: <OhioChessFan: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/paul-... Got to love those words. I might start dropping some of them in every day conversation.> Wow... hard to choose one from this collection: RAKESHAME (n.) "A vile, dissolute wretch" -- also known as a rampallion, a scroyle, a runnion, a pander, a cullion and (if they seem destined to a life of crime) a crack-rope. Oct-21-14    Fusilli: <OCF> Plenty of wranglesome folks on the Kenneth Rogoff page! Oct-21-14    Fusilli: <OCF> How are your zuffolo lessons going?! Oct-22-14    Alien Math: <Annie K.: Ouch. ;s Hon, here's an entire library I came across recently - some very good stuff, check it out. :) http://85.17.122.144/author.php?let... > Very nice include towards authors and stories! expressions of many thanks are sent towards Oct-23-14    OhioChessFan: The zuffolo lessons are proceeding rather tardigradously, sad to say. Oct-23-14    Fusilli: <OhioChessFan: The zuffolo lessons are proceeding rather tardigradously, sad to say.> You need a zuffolo yoke-mate to push you. Oct-25-14    Annie K.: <Hanh> you're welcome - it's a huge library, apparently a Ukrainian educational effort, so I hope it will stay online, though any books that are still copyrighted should be downloaded ASAP, before the authors remember to request their removal. ;) Oct-26-14    Domdaniel: <RAKESHAME (n.) "A vile, dissolute wretch" -- also known as a rampallion, a scroyle, a runnion, a pander, a cullion and (if they seem destined to a life of crime) a crack-rope.> Or even a "rump-fed runnion", if I recall the Bard correctly. Oct-26-14    OhioChessFan: An impudent strumpet was always one of my favorite literary tags. Oct-31-14    OhioChessFan: <An amusing linguistic mutation by <chessgames.com> on Chessgames Bookie chessforum-Take 2> <It's almost PAYDAY!!! When the Tashkent Grand Prix is over 1000 chessbucks will be deposited in every activate player's account.> Oct-31-14    SwitchingQuylthulg: At least they're consistent... <Aug-15-14 chessgames.com: 💰 IT'S PAYDAY!!! 💰 The Chessbookie! game just had its first payday, which means that every activate participant received a free 1000 chessbucks. (Was supposed to happen last night, sorry for the tardiness.)> Oct-31-14    OhioChessFan: I won't even hold the missing comma after "over" against them. Nov-04-14    Domdaniel: Here is a position from a game I played a few days ago: click for larger view I'm White. The position arises after 15 moves of a Reti/Neo-Gruenfeld or Fianchetto Gruenfeld. I had played f4 and e3, thinking I was following a line played by Karpov, Baburin, and others - but in fact the pawn structure here is slightly different, and White's f4 might not be so good. But Black (a solid 1900 player, though I knew from a previous game, which I won, that his knowledge of these openings was not great) also played a couple of less than accurate moves. So White seems to be a little better here. He now played 15...Bxd4, an interesting try. If the Bishop instead retreats to g7 White is better. I immediately began to think about an exchange sac, to gain the bishop pair and a strong attack. 16.fxg6 hxg6 17.exd4 e3 18.Bc3!? There are a few ways of pursuing this idea, and this may not be best. Fritz goes for an immediate 18.f5 -- but I wanted to establish the Bish on the long diagonal, as the opposing B is gone, and d5 plus Qd4 will threaten mate. 18...e2 19.Qd3 (Qb3 may be better) exf1Q+ 20.Rxf1 Qe6 21.Rf3 Qe4 22.Qc4 Qd5 23.Qf1 f5 24.Rh3 ... and White won a few moves later. Nov-04-14    Annie K.: Beautiful! Looks like you had fun. :) Nov-05-14    Domdaniel: <A> Thank you. I guess I had. My 2nd game was a draw, so I'm still unbeaten this season. Nov-06-14    waustad: Oh, a zuffalo is a lot like a recorder, though it appears to have fewer holes. Nov-06-14    achieve: "From half-spoken shadows emerges a canvas. A kiss of light breaks to reveal all mirrors are redundant. Listen to the portrait of the dance of perfection." (Robert Elms introducing Spandau Ballet's debut gig at the Scala, c. 1980) Just a flash from the past, a kiss of light, a quote featured in the latest Spandau Ballet documentary which was thrilling to see, not just hear, and especially the energy flowing around in all directions, working v middle class, blitz kids, stylemakers, escapists, but as one of the band members says, "it can all be traced back." In the abysmal Thatcherian era they were accussed of conspiring against aristocracy. Looking back i just admired a few of their songs and style, mainly Tony Hedley, but as is revealed in the docu the era was brimful of energy and prompted Duran Duran, Culture Club...and a whole host of life playing bands, just prior to the MTV dominated era. Most fascinating, I thought. Nov-06-14    achieve: And it prompted us, less not forget that, you a bit earlier than I, but for those interested in the title of the docu/biopic it is: Soul Boys of the Western World Nov-07-14    Domdaniel: <achieve> Good to hear from you, Niels. Not an isolani, I hope. Nov-07-14    achieve: <Dom> As I said just a flash, yet curious as to your thoughts on the London cognoscenti launching a band like Spandau Ballet. Thought you might have a few thoughts on it. Perhaps not;it is one of those events that just had to happen. But the chemics behind it all reminded me of you and what you said in the past, present. Other than that I tend to pop up when I least erm expected, especially with you and a select few. What's an isolani ;) A "thread" may be developing.
