A recent one, where the opponent played below his standards.
Nothing spectacular, just capitalizing on the opponent's mistakes in a far from perfect way.
Post your best miniatures here

I had this discussion with Barefoot ages ago in this thread. I the definition of blunder he's using in this context is not quite the same as the common usage. In the case where a series of small mistakes costs a game by degree of course the last mistake is a blunder; when the game becomes lost in a position where another move would not lose, but we can see how that can be thought of as a smaller error in some way than most blunders. Still of course it's impossible to have a miniature against good play; just something with surprising, beautiful moves, and not wins against obvious blunders when the opponent simply throws the game away are to be preferred; I agree.
In a long and ongoing streak of terrible games, played one worth sharing. In the style of the old Romantic masters... some pretty tactics.

Multiple fun tactical themes all in 1 game, nice game.
The bishop and knight mate after 19.fxg Nh3 is a personal favorite.
Yeah, pretty horrible, as advertised. But at least you have the self-awareness to know that, unlike most of the posts in this thread. 😁
To his credit, my opponent levelled the scores pretty convincingly in the next game:
I pulled this trashy game out of the archive. It is horrible yet if I am correct one of my quickest victories ever( Not counting the copious amounts of time I played a beginner who let me scholars mate them). Enjoy the horrible game with horrible moves by me.

I haven't been paying attention to the CAPS score, but mine seems unreasonably high in this game.

Best trash game of king of the hill I've played
This was King of the Hill. I just noticed that this forum was created on the 10th anniversary of nine eleven. Enjoy this trashy game. (By the way when I got this game analyzed by the computer it said that I blundered many times, I guess there is no setting for king of the hill).
Correspondence!
4 mistakes and 3 blunders by Your opponent were made in that game, according to analysis.
Which, of course, proves me right times 3
.
And . . . 14.g6 was unsound.
