What is your favorite game you have played?

My favorite game is actually one I lost. It was my third ever tournament game. I had the black pieces and was probably rated somewhere around 1000. I got paired against an 1800 and managed to scare them quite a bit.

In 2019, I beat GM Anton Korobov, #42 in the world, 2688-FIDE rated, in fifteen moves with Black. (no comment on the rematch)

Not wanting to be remembered as the guy who lost to ME, Korobov defeated former world champion Garry Kasparov (!) TWICE (!!) in 2021! (in 17 and 26 moves).

This is my favorite game, because at parties loaded with fans of The Queen's Gambit, I can truthfully say I've defeated, in fifteen moves, a guy who beat Kasparov twice in 17 and 26 moves.

The draw I got against 2556-rated Asa Hoffman at the Manhattan in 1988 to tie for first in a quad was my second favorite, as that enabled me to say I had a tournament draw against a guy who once beat Fischer in a blitz game.

If any fans of the Big Bang Theory are also at the party, hilarity and an intense discussion of the transitive property will inevitably ensue.
My favorite game has been in Stuttgart.
My opponent was a girl from Schach Bad Cannstatt.
I weared a younger mans clothes.
We made opening, and she said: "I know what you want to play."
Myself did not. Italian or flank attack. "Mhm."
But she had beautiful eyes, and to win or loose was no matter at all.

This one is my personal fav and this was played in my other account @dhruv0709 . Just read what I have said in the end and you'll know why its my fav.
