Short good games

#1
Hello!

Recently I got interested in very short games (mainly because I started teaching my students, from Dr Dave Regis Tactics Course - an absoluetly amazing book).

Now, I am looking for slightly more complex examples.

Post me your best short games! I will analyse them deeply from start to finish and will later on share either pdf or video depending on my mood.

Rules:

- Not more than 20 moves
- Players should be at least 1200~ fide, though it's not very important
- The game is interesting and features a use of common chess pattern/idea/principle.

Take a look at this study, definitely my best win in a long time and a beauty for sure. It's a correspondence game, where quick wins are near to impossible these days. This one is not exactly under 20 moves, but White is lost at move 22 and then dragged it out a bit. It's already analyzed quite deeply, but feel free to add.

#2 Thanks. It looks very simmilar to Sicilian stuff with both players attacking on different sides. Interesting to look at. Though I will probably not analyze this much, as it's already analysed quite a lot and also features quite long and complex variations.

No problem, just wanted to share since you said "slightly more complex" examples for tactics. There are tons of cool lines in this one, but I agree this stuff may be too deep for a quick tactics coaching ;)

What typically happens when someone neglects king safety:

Opening a file for your opponent to attack your king can turn pretty bad for you:

When your opponent's pieces are spectators:

A nice one:

This one is 22 moves but is quite nice too:

This one I find funny, 7 consecutive knight moves starting from move 10:
