A friend e-mailed me a pgn game from Capablanca which said it is a little known game and a Chess miniature:
[Event "Brooklyn Simultaneous"]
[Site "USA"]
[Date "1924/??/??"]
[Round "?"]
[White "Capablanca"]
[Black "Kevic"]
[ECO "A00"]
[Result "0-1"]
1. b4 d5
2. Bb2 Bf5
3. e3 e6
4. f4 Nf6
5. Nf3 Bxb4
6. Nc3 Nbd7
7. Ne2 Ng4
8. c3 Be7
9. h3 Nc5
10. Ng3 Bh4
11. Nxh4 Qxh4
12. Qf3 Nxe3
13. Qf2 Nxf1 (white resigns)
Capablanca resigns in thirteen moves. Why is this game considered a Chess miniature? I think Capablanca had a winning chance.
Thank you.
Dear
viewer,
Chess miniatures are short games which generally take 25 moves or less. They won't refer to the Chess pieces that are being used, nor to the people that are playing, of course.
At Grandmasters levels of play, it is very unlikely to see games ending in few moves. It is very impressive to watch the great Capablanca being virtually crushed in only thirteen moves by Kevic. This is truly a Chess miniature game.
The game in pgn viewer:
After 13. ... Nxf1, the following moves could have been played:
14. Kxf1 Nd3
15. Qe3 Bg6
16. f5 Nxb2
17. fxg6 hxg6
and black wins.
If you believe that Capablanca had a winning chance after the last move from Kevic (13. ... Nxf1), you can try to win playing against the computer as if you were Capablanca in the position before he resigned:
