Agreed. One thing that always frustrated me with a lot of the annotations, especially on lichess, is when it labels a secondary line as an inaccuracy. For example, I play a lot of Colle/Zuckertort systems and most of the time I play c3 and because I don't play c4 instead, it labels subsequent moves as inaccurate because it sees c4 as the preferred move. It almost seems like it cannot account for positional play or a particular playing style (like the Benko game saying Black was on at move 10 despite the pawns on d5 and e6 reducing the position to a passive one). But yes, I'm not a fan of the Chigorin either because if White can arrange his opening well, Black risks isolated doubled c pawns.

The king's indian is good for pretty mates. Not so much in the g3 variation, but this violent example has an unusual one. (See also if you can spot my one blunder that my opponent failed to take advantage of).
One of my shortest miniatures
@Elroch I think I would have been a wary as Black had I seen 23. Kf2 as well. Nice playing to destroy the castled position though.

Miniature (at a stretch - mate in 30 moves) as a reaction to unnecessarily losing a piece. Annotations start when it gets spicy.
The game I played today, I think it's quite cool. Correct pawn doubling, a little sacrifice and allowing queen promotion with check, it doesn't stops mate.
Edit: I'm black, idk why the interface sometimes glitches
Once Black gets f5, White is cooked. He needed to play a proper English and perhaps opt for Ne2 to play for f4 later. Also, he failed to utilize any battery against h6, play a3 and b4 sufficiently. Basically, you had him from the opening. Nice play
Miniatures are classified as games of less than 25 moves usually. I think the forum post is like 13 years old
Great King's Indian game as White. Black neglecting the h5 move seals the deal
Two pawns advance to turn this next game around.

bro literally got a guiness record on the most comments on chess.com
I botched it in the middle but still managed to win.
Not a bad showing but needed to play a bit more aggressive when Black stayed away from e5
Lichess gives 90 percent accuracy and Stockfish 17 at 14 depth/moves calls it at 93 percent accuracy but I'm skeptical of the numbers.
Black plays the Chigorin but then refrains from pushing e5, that's a recipe for disaster, the C6 knight is just badly placed blocking the c pawn.
I'm not particularly fond of the engine annotations, most of the time they don't make sense like that Bf5!!, it's an area to improve I think, the chess.com review is even worse.
