My best OTB chess game

AnalysisChess
This post is dedicated to the young generation of chess players, who will hopefully not forget to learn how to defend in chess

Hi everyone,
A few years ago I played an OTB game in a team match with my chess club.
This is my best defense game I ever played.
Usually chess players like to see attacking chess but I believe learning to defend makes you a much stronger and more all-round chess player.
After the game, when I was analyzing with my opponent, our strongest player came to us, and asked me with big wide open eyes, of surprise : "How did you do that ?" (Because during the game it looked like I was going to lose in an attack), and I showed what happened in the game. Later a spectator, and fairly good chess player gave me a compliment, that I stayed so calm, and resisted the temptation to blitz out moves, like my opponent in time trouble did. All in all it was a perfect day.
