Tactics, audacity and speed are the hallmarks of the lightning-round chess matches called miniatures. They are sparkling, fast-paced games of twenty-five or fewer moves, where an abundance of stimulating fighting chess dominates, where sacrifices, combinations and quick finishes are the rule, not the exception, and victory or defeat is sudden.
