Games that SHOULD have been "shorties" ...
Compiled by LIFE Master AJ

These are games that should have been miniatures, one side was clearly lost, but played on ... ... ... (for whatever reason). I find the winner's play so convincing that - for me - these games are like miniatures, even if the loser spoiled things by playing on.
