After 9.e4 Black is in huge trouble- isn't he?

I should have played 7... Qa5+ > 8... Qd5.
Here's the ideal continuation:

The only move that maintains an advantage for white there is f4, followed by Bc3, and I doubt many people are going to play that. Especially not at my level. Maybe you have to worry about it.

Other lines are a similar story, with one sharp continuation maintaining the edge for white while the rest is pretty much equal -

A few years ago I played this ridiculous game in the exchange Slav. The piece sac (8.e6) wasn't all my idea. I saw it in an analogous position in a QGD Tarrasch defense. This was Fidlow - Mayer Istvan (2225), 1950:

A miniature with a brilliant move !! 15. Bxg6!!

Avatar of poggopchamp

No mistakes miniature win with two great moves.

The Old Benoni isn't seen much in top level play. But on the intermediate patzer level, where I am, it can be quite a challenge. Black gets a little too fancy here and gets into trouble early......

Mate after Rh1+ is unstoppable.

That is hilarious because of the ratings! I was guessing it was a bullet game, but at blitz, better still.

Is 26 moves a miniature

I was black. After the game I told him what the opening was and the basic strategy behind it. Of course I was accused of being a line memorizing, never mind the obvious tactical blunders he made. Oh well, I tried.

Yes, up to 30 moves could be considered a miniature. Is there a way to pin posts?
