  Game-scores ...  

  and/or links to nice, short games of chess.


Time is at a premium nowadays, but if I run across a great short game, I wanted to be able to add it to my website ... without necessarily having to stop and annotate it. (I could always come back later and do this.)

Anyway, I decided to create this page. Hope you enjoy it. And remember, I am always looking for a great, short (miniature) game of chess, if you know of one that I have overlooked, please send it to me. (This page was created on Monday, April 10th, 2006.)
