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 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 199 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jun-20-07    Domdaniel: <Dylan> "... lookin' for a place to burn my dog and turn me into a cigarette..." Woulda made a great song. Jun-20-07    Domdaniel: <Bill> -- <I'm out to get my car fixed.> I know absolutely nothing about cars, but this seems to happen with worrying regularity. Is your car possibly addicted to something? I hope it's not that gasoline stuff. It'll run out soon, and I believe they get very sick without it. Jun-20-07    WBP: <Dom> Good evening, sir. I hope you are well. I continue my plodding, lazy summer ways. Watching you and <Mack> chat about odds and ends is a pleasure. I suppose it's something to do with being up there in the British/Irish Island food groups. (I always liked the fact that Hungary, Turkey, and Greece {hungry, turkey and grease] were together, though not islands). Jun-20-07    mack: <Woulda made a great song.> Oh, but it *is* a song. If you call something a song, then it's a song. Just like Blake's Songs of Innocence and of Experience. That Dylan clip has the rhythm and poetry of some of his best stuff. Jun-20-07    mack: <Cars> One of the best of those mad Radio 4 documentaries last year was called 'Poets Don't Drive': http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/arts/pi... Jun-22-07    jessicafischerqueen: Gpday, gpday, How was the interview wtih the <objet Dart>? Did you finish the essay? Can I read it? Jun-22-07    Domdaniel: <Jess> Fine, fine... finish, yes, read it... um, it's garbage, really, quite unreadable. But I'll append a copy to an email box thing anyway and humiliate myself further. Jun-23-07    Open Defence: Vlad said to Topalov give me your pawn Topa said man! you must me puttin' me on.. Vlad no.. Topa said well.. Tell me where you want the pawn sac done... Vlad said how about on Kb1... Vlad was talking to Gary the King I need to get rid of a couple of things Like a 100 Catalans that don't win Gary said let me think for a minute son... Yeah I know some thing that can be done.. how about tryin' K to b1 .. blow yer harmonica son.... Jun-23-07    jessicafischerqueen: <Deffi> HA! Very clever and well written!! Bob Dylan. Jun-23-07    Domdaniel: Err, hello, where can I buy postcards of the hanging? I really love that moment where they [*totally deleted on grounds of taste*] Taste? Taste? Yeuch. Andy Blob Jun-23-07    Domdaniel: WIST (Wish I'd Said That) is hereby deemed a more appropriate response to a bon mot than the common or garden LOL. Apart from the usual esthetic reasons, naked jealousy is more common than guffaws. Jun-23-07    Open Defence: now that you polluted the live broadcast page we shall have to sacrifice a virgin Queen... btw did you take up chess coz you thought it would be easy to pick up Queens ? Jun-23-07    Domdaniel: <Jess> The Tsetse Gambit, eh? Dead tsetse, even if I almost deleted everything on seeing the word 'Nigerian'. When do I a zillionaire become? I'm being a bit, well, sporadic, at the moment. I won't go so far as to say that 'all will be explained' but I hope to desporadicize soon anyway... Jun-23-07    Open Defence: <When do I a zillionaire become?> If you know what a Gambo is you can win a zillion gamboes Jun-23-07    Open Defence: *applies some Kohl on the <eye>* Jun-23-07    Domdaniel: <Deffi> Heh. Got any more of those? <Sweet Nigella, the pawns call him the goddess of gambits... He speaks good English and is happy to show you his ram bits, And you're so kind and careful not to develop your queen And he takes your pawns and leaves you looking just like Ray Keene...> Jun-23-07    Domdaniel: <Deffi> OH no my dyuh, picking up queens is easy, compared to chess. Not that I'd know. We don't do that in Erse. Jun-23-07    Open Defence: Baby how does it feel... To be all alone Way up on b3 ... Like an isolated pawn..... Jun-23-07    Open Defence: sung to the tune of Aqualung: Isolated pawn... don't you waste your time on b3 you poor old sod you know you'll never queen Weak and backward as the Rook attacks your rear you poor old sod you know you'll never queen Jun-23-07    Domdaniel: <live broadcast page> aka Live Broadcast Page is where I still tend to make my entrance (oh, stop that) to this site... but it had been disused for so long I thought they'd abandoned it and switched over to the multi-game upgrade version. Apparently not. Jun-23-07    Open Defence: <Sweet home Alabama> aka <Gary played the Najdorf> When they opened 1e4 That's when you saw the Sicilian Gary played the ole Najdorf And how I miss seeing it again I think it's a sin.. I saw Gary's Queen take on b2 I saw him take that poisoned pawn But Gary should remember A real GM don't need that pawn anyhow.... Jun-23-07    Domdaniel: <Aqualung, eh?> <I saw him on the queenside And the mountains round a5 His rooks were rather heavy He could not get out alive...> Jun-23-07    Open Defence: so whatcha been upto.. i'm confined to the house so when i'm not running myself ragged i lurk about in these fora... Jun-23-07    Domdaniel: <deffi> Not much, actually. Writing stuff and looking in here less than usual... until I can get the other bits of my life to behave themselves/ catch up/ lie down... etc. Which is why I'm gonna dash again now. That 'Catalan' line is great, btw. WIST. Jun-23-07    mack: <leaves you looking just like Ray Keene...> Oh lordy, a fate worse than death. The second post you ever directed at me, Dom, was the following (after I said that I had done a cover of Tangled Up In Blue in a @#$%ty band called Taghairm...): <She was at a taghairm when we first met Soon to be myomantic I helped her out of her bullock's hide But I got a little bit too frantic.> This must be the most Dylan parody-heavy chess site around.
