Miniatures from France’s Top-12
Victories in less than 25 moves!
Traditionally one of the world’s strongest national team competitions, France’s elite Top-12 still sees a fairly large number of miniatures (victories in less than 25 moves).
There could be all sorts of reasons for this, ranging from the fact that anyone can have a bad day once in a while to miss-matched pairings to finger felhers.
Below is an entertaining selection of miniatures from this year’s championship. Enjoy!
