Instead of just cheating to take down the shields - Kirk reprogrammed the Klingons to recognize him (then a nameless cadet) as a famous commander deserving honor and respect and someone to be absolutely feared (what he would become anyway).

If you ever played the game star fleet academy they recreated the Kobayashi Maru scenario with a fresh young cadet who hero worshiped Kirk. He reprogrammed the Klingons to be cowardly blow hards, and the cadet scared them into retreating.
It was actually a very funny scene.
