Most bizarre thing in 12 years.

Dear Reader or Moderator

I have been playing on Lichess for 12 years now. This is by far the most weird thing I've ever seen. I played a game. Opponent played an illegal move. I took a picture of it. I did not make a move. Just let his time run out. But then it showed a win for him!!!
When I watched the replay, it showed a move I did not play!!! I took a picture of it to prove it. I am not exaggerating. I do not know where I can post the pictures. I don't care about rating or anything. I change my username every month or so. But wow it was so weird.

The replays showed a move I did not make. But I took a picture of the illegal move. Where can I post it or something?

Link of the game?
Are you sure the illegal move was not "enpassant"?

Thank you for your reply but the link/replay does not show anything weird. Just shows a normal game without anything funny. That's the point. The computer changed the moves!

In the link of the game below if you go to the last position you see something which we did not actually have. What we actually had was an illegal position with the 2 kings next to each other. I took a photo but do not know how to share it in this forum.

You are correct. I apologize for my evil actions.

Best Regards
The more I analyze this, the weirder it gets.

On the 28th move the record shows the black king moving to f7 when I had actually moved it to d7. Then for 13 more moves the inaccurate recording is maintained. The last position then inaccurately shows that the white king took the pawn on d6 which is illegal because my king is on the d7. Again, I'm not making this up, I took a photo to prove it.

I actually regret now that I just let the time run out rather than try to see what would happen if I took his king with my king! Hahaha

Thank you for reading.
Also notice that it says white won although white's time ran out. Should be a win for black on time.
