   Another mixed up opening. I guess it's some kind of a Robatsch-modern defense......

 

What a crazy game!  Your first non-pawn move is on move 11

    Hey, you're right! Well, my opponent was very accommodating and kept providing nice targets for my foot soldiers to attack.wink

    This idea of an early h4 pawn push against black's fianchettoed kingside is not new, of course. But it's gotten a bit more popular in recent years thanks to AlphaZero and guys like the GingerGM. I've fooled around with it myself, with mixed results. Now, I know this thread is supposed to be our "best" miniatures, but I don't mind showing some of my "worst" if I think they're instructive. Anyway, this one was a lot of fun......

Quite beautiful. Interesting how my engine say Black's best is 9.d5 Ne5!? instead of the classic Bf6

     19.Nxg5! Very nice! Good game.

    White's 4.Qb3 may be some kind of a novelty. I didn't see it in any of the DBs I checked. I guess the idea is to prevent d5, but I played it anyway. This gave up a pawn, but I figured it was worth the activity my pieces got.

Ne5 is good, but only if you know what you're doing. Demonstration:

A modern tomb game!

22...Rxf2 leads to mate. But it is a good, almost comical, game. ;)

Yesss, and you made me remember my very first serious chess book "200 celadas de apertura" by Emil Gelenczei where that trap is featured...

    This is an interesting line. In addition to 11...O-O, black has also tried 11...f5, and after 12.Qxc4 d6 13.Nd4 O-O. It may just transpose, but engine says black is a little better. 

    Also, an alternative to 9...Ne5 is the funny looking 9...Nd6. I tried it in a rapid game and managed a draw, but again, I think black might have been a little better after Qf5......

https://www.chess.com/analysis/game/live/53566786055 Here is my favorite when use to sacrifise Bishop or Knigh, depands on which move Black played. In my experience there was many times with Knight - talking on this position in Sicilian.

Joker,

In no way is this a miniature. Please post in a more appropriate forum or start your own.

Thanks.
