There's about a 0% chance that this game gets chosen because it's not really flashy, but 14... Bh6 deserves at least an exclamation mark. Sure, it's far from the only move, but it's an incredibly deep positional concept, and I'm extremely proud to have played it in just 11 seconds.

Edit: Forgot to explain why Bh6 is the best move. I approached this from a prophylaxis perspective: White wants to expand quickly with d4 and a possible f4 in the future. If that happens, the advantage quickly turns in White's favor. Black, on the other hand, really only has one plan: a5. However, the problem with a5 is that White has d4 and Nc4 (the computer also claims that Ra4 is very good in some lines, although I did not see that). The great part about Bh6 is that it has 3 purposes: White cannot play f4 nor d4, and it allows Black to push a5 safely.
