That's the shortest game I've ever played at chess.com, actually I've made only three moves, since that was an unrated game starting from the Nimzo-Indian Defense basic position.

well, the guy was 300 points below you. What do you expect? He clearly doesn't know much about Queen's Gambit. Its not really a miniature, its more of a trap. A miniature usually involves a huge gamble by one side. A trap just signals that one player has a very poor knowledge of the opening.

It's not a Queen's Gambit, it's an Indian Defense. An neither was that move a trap, my knight was threatened by his pawn and I just moved it for an active position where it threatened his queen, there's only a nicety that the bishop could not be taken. Anyway, I guess my opponent has learned something from that game and he won't make that kind of mistake again. If we can call that a miniature or not is another deal, but still that's a worth looking short game for beginners.
