Post your best miniatures here

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.

It's a game between one of my smartphone chess apps AI. I can hardly beat it because it's really tricky for humans. Also, even if I can beat it, I usually  beat it at end games. But this is the first time I defeated him in middlegame.

The Johnny Cochrane Defense.  If the king is bait, you must checkmate.

Somehow this opponent allowed my king-pawn to promote into mate in 16.

According to some of you, this game would not qualify as a miniature (it is 25 1/2 moves long). Nevertheless it was a very enjoyable game for me where I played White against an OTB opponent.

Not a miniature lordcashflow. Not even close!

Amazing that Jackson got beat again with almost the same variation !!!  Why could that one not be worked out?

Stubborn Jackson just won't learn. He got the idea from an old master though:

I know my opponent played poorly, but this game illustrated for me the power of developed, and the punishment that can come to those who do not develop. I managed to develop two knights, fianchettoed a bishop, castled, and already won a pawn while my opponent made four queen moves, and I think he intended a cheap and quick checkmate had I not castled.
