Post your best miniatures here

Game of 11 moves and 6 blunders !  Chess 960, though . . .

You want instant coffee with that Danish?

My first attempt at a Keres attack. Successful, yes - but perhaps more as a result of my opponent's blunders than anything else. I couldn't resist taking black's knight on g4 and it went from there...

For future reference, 6...Nxg4?? is a blunder, and 8.Bb5+ is the simplest way of retaining the piece (although the computer says that your move is even more crushing). A piece moving to d7 stops the attack on your Queen; after 8...Nc6, 9.Nxc6 is crushing and 8...Ke7 is not at all advisable...

Another mini with 6.g4.  Who Keres?

Smith-Morra Gambit leads to huge attack. I accidentally played Bc4 before Nxc3 because I mistook it for a danish gambit game. 

And a short Danish Gambit game. 

More Smith Morra

It wasn't actually a miniature....but I liked it...it's my best so far

Learn by doing: managed to repel White's invasion in moves 10-21, then launched an eventually successful mating counterattack in moves 22-29 after white's hasty 22.Qxh6.

Too easy.  5 minute game...

This is a game I played.  I simply think that the mate in 3 deserves more attention.

Here's a Lopez in 22. I'm assuming my opponent resigned due to 22 ...Kf7 23. Bg6#

Here's an example of what happens when you castle in the open in a sharp game.

Well I've got too many miniatures that would make Tal look like Petrosian. Sacrifices that would insta get Morphy's approval. I'll just start with my least favorite -

I kept going over this game after it was played. I did not see how I was better after the fireworks began, but I was through the whole. I found a few only moves, but had little choice it seemed at the time. Even at one second per move, it was easy to see how the alternatives would lose.
