My favorite game of chess I ever played

[shortline99]

our team won the Massachusetts team championship in 7th grade. i played first board. this is a whole story in itself, but long story short, i needed a draw or better against a 1900 russian kid who was the most arrogant person ever, including talking on an imaginary cell phone about how i suck. nice guy. so finally i win the exchange late in the game due to !!, and while his jaw drops, i offer him a draw so his rating doesn't take a huge hit and so we lock up the championship in case i blow it. he accepts very gratefully. we win.
