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 200 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jun-23-07    Domdaniel: <mack> "She was at a taghairm..." - Yep, and I repeated that one later as well -- wheels within wheels... So, tell me, since in a sense it began all this... *was* there a musical combo named Taghairm? Jun-23-07    WBP: <Dom> <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.> I'm in a very similar situation right now. Nothing drastic, but the last few days (and a few more to come)have been busy. I love the whistleresque WIST for LOL, though you may have to spread the word on that. I'll help. I rejoined the United States Chess Federation recently, and discover that, thanks to that fine "comeback" attempt of a few years back, my rating's absolutely plummetted. So that's one more thing I have to work on. Every so often I stop to think, and then I forget to start again. WIST (And HIDPTB, which is : Hope I Didn't Post That Before) Jun-23-07    mack: Oh yes, I wouldn't lie about that sort of thing. Especially not on the internet. Taghairm was a word I'd heard one of my English teachers use years ago. Taghairm the 'band' was a vanity project that came about when I fancied myself as a sort of well-spoken Mark E. Smith. Mumbling, not singing. We had about three rehearsals, during which we mostly did covers (usually Roxy Music), but the only one which we got all the way through (albeit with a Blake interlude) was Tangled Up In Blue. Those weren't the days. Jun-23-07    Domdaniel: <m> A well-spoken Mark E Smith? The mind boggles. Why not, um, a skinhead Bryan Ferry? Oi, Virginia Plain... ... not that I ever doubted the existence of Taghairm or anything. But isn't the name kind of, well, bullocky? Jun-23-07    mack: Oh completely bullocky. It's not the proudest achievement of my life, or anything... Jun-23-07    mack: God, just imagine if your proudest achievement was being in a crap band that existed for less than half a second. Jun-23-07    WarmasterKron: <One last chess snippet. I have never, in my entire life, played either side of a Spanish/Ruy Lopez.> You lucky sod. I've never been so sick as to play the White side, but the Black side brings a feeling of despair that eventually leaves me sobbing in the corner, a broken man. Truly, the Spanish is an aberration, a thing that should not be. Jun-23-07    jessicafischerqueen: <(Wish I'd Said That)> You will, Oscar, you will. Jun-23-07    jessicafischerqueen: <Mack> <God, just imagine if your proudest achievement was being in a crap band> Would a <Foghat Cover Band> qualify? Jun-24-07    Open Defence: <Truly, the Spanish is an aberration, a thing that should not be.> more chess blasphemy.... infidels... not many know the power of the dark side of the Ruy Jun-24-07    jessicafischerqueen: HI EVERYONE!! WELCOME TO <<<JESSICA'S HOUSE>>> THIS FORUM IS NOW A BLOG ABOUT THE <HISTORY OF <<CHEWING>> GUM>!! PS <You'll all be pleased to know that <<Wilson>> and <<<Deffi>>> are my NEW mortal enemies!> Jun-24-07    Domdaniel: This looks like a coup. I think I've been taken out and shot, btw. This is my stunt double speaking. It won't be long before They get me too. Just one quick revolutionary song, then... Jun-24-07    Open Defence: btw re: the foot fetish... would they be called podophiles ? Jun-24-07    Domdaniel: Just Like a Catalan You played 1.d4 all right, Miss Modern, but you didn’t put your trust in it, You said the Queen’s Gambit was so old, there was prob’ly rust in it, And you bypassed the Nimzo, afraid you’d only get bust in it, Nimzo said pawns had a lust to expand, but face it babe, g3 don’t have an awful lot of lust in it, So what’s it feel like, man To be without a plan? To do all you can And it still goes down the pan? Just like a Catalan. You said you’d never fianchetto But you’ve played g3 and now you’re set to Go Bg2 and hope you can get to Unscramble your pieces, but you know you’ve yet to Even free your King from its corner of the ghetto What’s it feel like, man To be without a plan? To do all you can And it goes right down the pan? Just like a Catalan. Jun-24-07    Open Defence: brilliant Jun-24-07    Domdaniel: <Deffi> Shh. Quiet. We're under martial law here. You've seen the declaration from Good Queen Jess. Foot fetish? Never heard of it. What's a foot? - A foot? About twelve inches. Oh no. Now those dodecahedral-entendres will start up again... Let she who is without sin cast the first pod. Jun-24-07    Open Defence: <Hey Pawn (Joe)> Hey pawn! where you think you're goin' to now Goin' down to Qd8 goin' down to become a queen Yes I'm goin' down to Qd8 I hear that I may be able to win the game.. Hey pawn! I heard you couldn't quite make it through Hey pawn! I heard that Rook chopped you in two Ain't no two bit pawn gonna Take the game away from me... Ain't no two bit pawn gonna Take the game away from me... *Hendrix style guitar solo* Jun-24-07    Open Defence: so hows the week end ? or is it a weak end ? Jun-24-07    Domdaniel: 'Weak' is probably closer to the mark. I try not to acknowledge the existence of the seven-day week, but the dam things just keep coming round again... Something should be done, I say. Jun-24-07    WBP: <Dom> <I try not to acknowledge the existence of the seven-day week, but the dam things just keep coming round again> Evidence, perhaps, of intelligent design? What causes them "to keep coming round again," if not some seven-day driven/obsessed intelligence? Jun-24-07    Domdaniel: <What causes them "to keep coming round again,?> Bob Dylan? "And when you're sick of all this repetition/ Won't you come see me, Queen Jane.." Jun-24-07    WBP: <Dom> You've solved it. Intelligent Design is a fact, and Bob Dylan's behind it! Jun-24-07    jessicafischerqueen: Good Gravy <Dylan Chess>!! HEY! This is sposed to be about <chewing bum>!! Jun-24-07    jessicafischerqueen: OOps sorry I thought <Bill> had typed <Bob Dylan's bebind> up there. Was just trying to "join in," honest!! Jun-24-07    WBP: <Jess> <OOps sorry I thought <Bill> had typed <Bob Dylan's bebind> up there> Hey! You makin' fun of my typing skills? Watch it!
