Lichess Game of the Month April - Contest

Enjoyed this rapid demolition over a 2k player ending with a queen sac:

(My opponent resigned but it's mate in two: 21. ... Rxe7 (21. ... Kh8 22. Qf6#) 22. Qf8+ Rxf8 23. Rxf8#)



I tried to find a fancy sacrificial game, but all of mine this month are a little ugly in some way. Best I have is this, a straightforward attacking game where the attack is so strong that I don't bother to win an exchange, and temporarily sac the exchange to my opponent instead.


A draw, but possibly a little more interesting than a typical draw, even apart from the 500+ rating difference.

Great positional game on how to play on the queenside in the Sicilian hope you enjoy


It was a high-quality game which I was delighted with since I out-calculated my opponent in multiple instances. Especially since my novel idea of playing 9.b6 and 10.Ba6 to exchange my usually ugly bishop paid off.
