I was blitzing out the moves quite quickly in this one (while under no time constraints :(, ) and my silicone opponent blundered twice after the opening, and lost quickly. Does it count as a miniature if you reach a lost position really early, and then lose, or is it just based on a game move limit. I believe anyone else would have resigned much sooner.
Fun one to win regardless!

I really wish I could paste a board in the comments..
You missed the faster 17...Rxd2 to make it a miniature.
