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:
