Post your best miniatures here

Just stop already.  Please.

Miniature:

1. A small chess game (n.)

2. A toy collectible (n. )

3. Very small. (adj.)

Now Grobe,

“You know, it would be good if this whole thing could just be put to bed, including harassing people for posting slightly too long games, and the thread could be refocused on the games themselves.”

is referring to me, isn’t?

And you expect me not to reply back to you? In any case, I am responding back about your “subjective definition”.

Please stop trying to redefine things.

Thanks!

PS – Please show us some miniatures. That’s what we are here for! =)

Again, please stop.

TheGrobe,

Please stop telling me to stop.

I have no idea what you are asking me to stop.

Tear down this Berlin, Wall!  Sherlock Holmes and the pesky mate.

White: Me

Black: Some little kid in our college town who thinks hes soooooo good at chess.

TheElement,

Just in case you are interested, this opening is known by many names, among them, THE FRED.

I created a PDF file of 130 games with this opening. You can download this file at :

Having said that, I think you missed some faster wins with 12.Qxc7# and 14.Qxc7#.

I did enjoy the game! =)

Nothing surprising, just calm, accurate play against some psuedo agression by White in the 2 Knights and my shortest game here yet. I thought about not posting this but we have players of all levels looking at this thread, this is a good example of what's wrong with Bxf7 in this line, and clearly there are players who think Bxf7 must be good (or it wouldn't get played on me so often,) so maybe this is post has value.

Just played Bxf7+ against somebody. WHite should play d3 and not Nc3

The Grob and Barefoot Player. THe best thing to do when somebody iis annoying you is to ignore them.

I should have said d3, d4 and Ng5 are all generally considered better than Nc3, though Nc3 can be a dangerous gambit if White follows up with o-o.

Philidor?  Three Knights?  Scotch?  Two Knights?  Too late.  The queen gets trapped.

That was cute. 

I won two miniatures at the same time.

Last Saturday I was playing a casual game at the Orange County Chess Club and produced this short game.

Interesting enough, when I came back home after the meeting I found my opponent resigned at the same time in a thematic match here at Chess.com.

What a good Saturday that was! =)

Both nice minis, Rob. The second game must have been very frustrating for your opponent; it was like a stangulation, but mercifully quick.

Thanks Batgirl! =)

Cogwheel, you'e right about 5.g7+ being better than the tet move. I hadn't had time to analyze it.

barefoot_player

okay.

Tell me what are you going to do if I want to post a game which is not a miniature by your standards on this thread? Tell me just what will you do to me? What can you do to me? I'm going to keep on posting any games I want and how are you going to stop me?

@W-Luke: beautiful miniature.
