What is your favorite endgame position

Checkmate is my favorite position. Three knights, knight and bishop, or even the very rare one knight vs pawns Checkmate!
For the record, I found the technical one, at the board.
Nice problem and nice story. Bringing chess alive!
This will be my all time favorite position, for several reasons.
For one, it occurred at a tournament I was playing in. (In the section above me. Class A) several of us gathered to watch it played. Black paused at this position. I was wondering if it was really a draw, even though black was a piece up. I just figured out the winning plan, when black stuck out his hand and offered a draw. So, despite being 200 points his junior, I stepped up, and showed black how he could have won.
He facepalmed.
Was a proud moment.
And secondly, tis position actually has two different winning methods. One technical, and one tactical.
I love showing this position to my friends, and seeing which one they try to figure out first.
So, I will offer the position to you.
Are you a Technician, or a Tactician?

i found it the tactician way

When I'm playing white I'm very fond of this position with White to move. I've scored nearly 100%
uh, NEARLY?
