First draw against IM!

CMU pulled off a big upset against the Chessbrahs at US Amateur Team East this morning. We needed to clean up on Boards 3 and 4 and score a half point against (the) GM Eric Hansen and IM Aman Hambleton. Somehow I drew from the Black side of a Nimzo that I'd barely seen before and we clinched the match 2.5-1.5.

This is my first draw against an IM. Played one IM and one GM before and lost both. My previous highest draw was against a local 2319 USCF.
