I had a look through my online games here, I have over 400 wins in 20 moves or less.

I'm not gonna post all of them....

Excellent skills!  I want to become as good as you.  My ELO is about 1100, but maybe if I practice a couple times a week for the next four months solid, I can get up to near 2000.  Maybe four months is given myself too much time but I want to be realistic and everything. Great games you have!

This is one I got lucky on.  I’m not sure how good it is, but I feel good because I am recovering from a bad head accident.  You all our great players. I want to get more better as I go.

bgjettguitar,

 

Your game is not a miniature nor even a good game.

 

White missed 6.e5! winning a piece and the game. The rest of the game is similar , with both players missing or avoiding good moves in favor of just moving a piece.

@Robhad that was a Giuoco Forte grin.png

A single blunder on move 14 quickly decides the game

Barefoot_Player

That was a good one sup_bro!

 

The reply to 14...e5 is a bit hard to see, but it's obvious once you find it! Congratulations on finding the move. =)

I just thought I could win an exchange when I played Bc4 tongue.png I didn't realise how bad the threat was until I checked the analysis

@sup_bro Nice one!

This from today. Probably my highest rated opponent to date. It was long, thought intensive game, which result in a an unrelenting onslaught on his king, with many pins, and tactical considerations. Both had less than 1 minute left on the clock. But I believe after another 2-3 moves he would have been mated.

My fastest checkmate on this website. Full disclaimer: both sides are only 600+ Elo.

Another victory for the Blackmar-Diemer (with Queen sac!) happy.png

Errors beget errors.

I like the Smith-Morra! Even if White is busted, he still sometimes wins! =)

Double knight sac leading to line mate, with castling forcing resignation. 20...Kh6 21.Nf5+ Kh5 22.g4# was the alternative for black.

The Danish is good, too. These are blitz openings for me, but I remember this loss from twenty years ago. My second quickest tournament loss.
