Not even close to being a miniature.
Some players have problems with English, chess terms, or even common sense.
"Miniature" is not a set term, some people may take it as <20 moves or <25 or even <30. It's rather subjective.

Yah, in this thread it's pretty lenient and under 30 is considered on topic.
Agreed, the first definition I've ever heard is actually 20 moves or less, but I'm all for it being more liberal as long as we get great games.
i took it as 25, and i apologise if you had it as 20
Don't apologize, I just said that that's the first definition I've ever come across. I've come across others since, I was trying to point out that there are many, that it's not universally agreed upon and that we shouldn't be too strict about it.
This is the GREATEST MINIATURE OF ALL TIME. I find it hard to believe it actually happened. It wasn't hyperbullet, the time control was ONE DAY PER MOVE
Tarrasch Defence. I guess 4.dxc5 d4 is some kind of a gambit line for black.
Nice game. Maybe white didn't see 13...Bb2 either, as after you kick the bishop with the knight, he goes all the way back to c1.
New Highest Accuracy OTB Game (96.9)
P.S. I'm incredibly underrated in ECF
Triple brilliancy - slightly undermined by the trashy play and low accuracy.

Nice game!
A Dutch defence. White tries to hold on to his extra pawn, but it turns out not to be worth the trouble.

Wow, what a beautiful mess on the h-file! Nice game.
I just don't get the Englund gambit. It's such a lemon. This is a funny game I dug out of my archives from a few years ago.
