Post your best miniatures here

A great honor. Thank you. (And great game!)

Though I am testate, I still have a couple million in liquid discretionary funds. I can think of no one on this board who has been more kind to me than you have been. Your gift was my pleasure. Enjoy, and take advantage of the many new things available to you.

Queen trap:

Probably. Old sick people think slowly. I think his a4 was required.

Another nice trap in the Vienna.

I played this game here on chess.com.  My opponent was higher rated, but the game was pretty much over at move 12.

Interesting middlegame, but my opponent miscalculated and payed dearly for it. This is a 2|1 Bullet game.

No miniature without a blunder.

A blitz game i played today.

Dude, i know. But why? Doesn't black at least equalize, or even come out better? White loses time,no?

The starting position isn't equal because white starts first I doubt that this line is very ambitious if it gives black equality

Would someone please define miniature? Is it less than 30 moves? Less than 20?

About 25 moves i think

10

Thanks.

@kefall08: lol

The definition that has been or less standard is 25 moves or less. The moderator of this thread says it is 25, but will accept  slightly longer games if it  is "in the spirit of a miniature".

Thank you very much, sir or madam. That quite clears it up.

yeah
