The most rarest of attacks in all of chess the caro king side attack... Playing h5! and the sad part is i will likely never get this position again... two many things have to align to get this attack.
Post your best miniatures here

45% accuracy for the win! woohoo! THIS is how I play the 3...g5 line, like MOST KG players. 4.h4 has better stats, but I like to keep to the 4.Bc4 in almost every line plan. i don't like the look of opening my 0-0 up and complicating the KS. i had some late opening & middlegame fumbling, but once I got active, i found my groove, and feel I played a great endgame stalefish quit complaining about after move 8

Nice attack, White had to play h3 instead of H4 probably, but like you said they lost a lot of time with Nbd2 Re1 and Qe3
This game had to be here, a nice miniature against an FM

Wow, nice game! Harry the h-pawn the hero. I like 6.Qc2, inaccuracy and all. Isn't there a funny line that goes 6...Nb4 7.Qa4+ N8c6 8.a3 etc.?

A game played over the board at the pub, where a buddy and I used to have a weekly match. We aren't able to do that anymore, but it was a lot of fun. The game score was pretty close at first, but by the end of it he got on a roll and was pretty much winning every game, but that didn't diminish the fun.
oooh lukeluke does can opener attacks too!
it's good that game was anonymous! it was way too ugly for primetime! HAHAHAHAHA!!! I like 11.exd5 ep to temporarily block black's queen while opening that diagonal up for the Bxf7+ overload though.
if it was "ME" vs him, i really like 8.Be2 baiting the queen to take the b5 bishop and get crushed by 9.Nc7+!
9 move mieses, and I LIKE Bc4 even if stalefish doesn't! attack f7 asap!

Thanks. That was the idea of 8. c3, to leave the poisoned Bishop hanging by blocking the check. I went with 8. c3 as I didn't want him to be forced to retreat his Queen back to d8 if he spotted it (which he did), and I figured that allowed me to bring my Queen out (as in the game) and provided the option of re-routing the Bishop a4->c2 if that became necessary. At the time it felt like c3 gave me more options if he didn't fall into a simple fork trap. He almost did fall for it, but he did a final double-check of the board before making his move and spotted and called me sneaky! ha ha

I had no idea of that line I usually play A3 before Qc2, I don't see how Black can take advantage of Nb4 though

Thanks... i was suprised that no one has ever been in the position after move 11... at least not OTB or on lichess... we were both like 95% accurate up to that point...

I think you misunderstood me. Nb4 is not a 'good' move, but amateurish as it looks, it can be tricky.
In this game, white actually wins a piece, thanks to black's awkward queenside arrangement. But then somehow finds a way to lose. Of course, it would be ridiculous to call 6...Nb4 a 'winning move'.

That's an interesting game. But the difference is that White couldn't freely play A3 removing the knight immediately after Qa4+ because the pawn was on E3 allowing Nd3+. So in that sense Nb4!? was a decent option at least. The rest of the game was pure chaos though

Yeah, that 'hole' on d3 makes all the difference. I played a game a few weeks ago where white left that weakness on d3. I got a great position, but managed to eventually blow the game. But that's just my lame follow-up.

I've managed to ruin even more one-sided games than that, don't worry 😆
A win against an IM, who played really bad tbh
This one is my favorite. Sacrificing a Knight and Chancellor for a solo checkmate with the Archbishop. The way creative chess was meant to be played.

Nice game. I saw another game where I believe it was an FM who tried 5...e5 (instead of Nf6) in an analogous position. I think the continuation went something like 6.Be2 f5 7.O-O e4. 8.Ne1 Nb4 9.Qa4 d5?! which simply lost a pawn. I think he didn't want to wait for a3, when his knight would have to make an ignominious (I love that word!) retreat, so he just threw away a pawn instead. 
I looked at that anti-owens line. 1. e4 b6 2. Nf3 Bb7 3. Bc4 Bxe4 it has great stats, but it's a side line with annoying 4.e6 blocking the bishop and wasting a tempo as the "main line" and stats favor black there by 5%. BUMMER because I really like castle grabbing, and fast attacks on f7 are why I play king's gambit, krejcik alekhine and the "BDG family" (alapin diemer french, gedult BDG scandinavian & mieses gambit carokann)
