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.

I was sick good at chess back when I was in 5th/6th grade. I'm probably about as good at it now as I was back then. I get really jealous when people post games of chess because I know that I'll never understand what people see that I don't.

I remember when I had to play chess for my class in my school olympics each class had a right to 2 wild-cards which gave u triple the score if u u won, I was by far the best player so they used a wild-card on me. I guaranteed victory in front of all my class.
The format was K.O
5 days before the chess competition I started to feel the pressure by the time there were 1 hour left I was absolutely dying.
On the first game I started losing kinda badly(I would guess around 3 pawns on fritz, he was ahead 1 pawn on material)I realized there was a move which would let me capture a rook uncontested however that move had a refutation which would be really, really bad news for my king, I was so screwed that I thought "f it, lets do it" I was dying until he missed the move in which I started pwning him and won very easily afterwards.
The semi-final was really easy , I could have won that game blindfold OR drunk. Im not kidding btw.
Then came the final, I was ahead all the game( 3 pawns) but started collapsing in the endgame due to the pressure, when I was finally done my oponent told me "sry but ure done" at that point I was absolutely guttted, I felt such like a deep punch on my throat. However he blundered and I went on to win the game! We ended up winning the global competion by 90 points, if I had lost the chess final we would have lost the competion by 110 points.
The prize of winning was a trip to the snow for all my class and the glory.
I havent played competitive chess since, Im just not made for it.
