Taylor Kingston's review at The Chess Cafe John Elburg's review Read John Knudsen's review. This collection of 100 entertaining and instructive short games contains a wealth of opening tricks and middle-game tactics played by email or post. All the games in the book ended within 25 moves, the standard definition for a miniature game.
Some games speak for themselves and have light notes.
The critical moments of others are analysed in depth. The notes to the games include numerous explanations of, and corrections to, opening theory, with many little-known sidelines and traps. There are brilliant attacks and ingenious tactical twists. Typical correspondence chess mistakes, and their swift punishment, are shown too. As well as the 100 main annotated games, there are a further 20 complete games in the notes and twelve further games presented as tactical exercises for the reader to solve.
