Lichess Game of the Month July - Contest

Here is a game of mine I liked. Shows the problem with the Alekhine Defense. Why I don't play it.

Sorry everyone my opponent is a 5-level bot of lichess.
I was practicing the KIA and suddenly I found a brilliant queen sac and mate!
That’s all.

> I have also played many brilliant sacs although I’m a low-level player. We should play chess for art’s sake, not for a matter of the rather boring endgames and cheating!

?? endgames arent boring and why are you talking about cheating?

Well sorry just don’t mind it if you like endgame theories!
