Lichess Game of the Month April 2026 - Contest

https://lichess.org/XJTaZl4w/black

I recently played one of my all-time best blitz games on Lichess. A 24-move miniature against an FM played with 97% accuracy (0|0|0).

It features a knight sacrifice on f2 followed by a paralysing queen+rook invasion. My opponent tried to organise his forces but in the end he allowed a bishop sacrifice on h3 to prompt resignation.

My favourite move of the game is 23. Ne5.
It was tempting for me to play 23. Bxd3 instead, which is also a fine move. But Ne5 accurately brings my last piece into the attack, and emphasises that he's basically in zugzwang.

I really hope you guys enjoy this!
It's not every day I play such nice games :)

Thanks
