25 moves or less, and even that long is debatable. Several collections of miniatures on my shelf put the limit at 20.

Yeah, but I’m being lenient, I think it’s 25 personally.

On the other side of the coin, hammering the KG with the Falkbeer Counter-Gambit.

Stockfish rates the LSB sac on move 15 as a brilliant.

87% accuracy

87% in a quick Blackmar-Diemer Gambit win.

Oh no, my queen! My opponent premoved Bf3 because they probably expected to trade my knight for their bishop, but I had other plans.

Modern Sicilan game where I got away with the Nxd5 freeing maneuver. Game scored at 95 percent accuracy.

The total time of Black's moves was 9 seconds.

Feedback please. I've been trying for a year and have made a lot of variations. https://www.chess.com/blog/DavidYushkov/new-opening

This isn't the right forum for this sort of thing. If you have a miniature (a game under 30 moves for this thread) using your idea then by all means post that. But for general feedback requests you should start your own thread for that.

... and Caro Kann meets von Hennig.

It doesn't go so well for Mr Kann...

After 20.Rae1! I am material up a pawn, but Black is totally lost, according to Stockfish, at +4.30.

Delayed Alapin with the Black pieces.

Here is a nice miniature with a brilliancy to decide the game. Note that I consciously gambited a pawn in the opening in an attempt to mess up white's development as he tried to defend his pawn.

The ending may be a bit anti-climactic, but the transposition is what I like about it. @Optimissed This Quinteros line reminded me of your favorite O'Kelly line. I wonder if you've ever analyzed it. You should see how it deals with the Alapin
