This has to be the worst game of the month

Never seen a more poor choice from the lichess mods (who usually choose the best game)
Not 1, not 2, there were at least 10 games better than this one.
What's your opinion on this game?

PS- This game was not even in the thread, I didn't know there were other ways to submit your game as well.

You can submit also on discord or X.
honestly I like this game. I'm a little fed up with games with ultra aesthetic sacrifices. this sacrifice was useful, the goal was the checkmate. there is very good part placement and precision. the opening is not a risky King's gambit or a trap opening, there is a real construction. it's an accessible game and it shows the honesty of such a competition to choose a 3+2 blitz game, played by 2100s.
"worst game of the month"
I propose that someone maybe xxxxnstinct start an independence worst game of the month competition!

Every single player has multiple worst games for each month, The competition would have an avalanche of deficient entries and super-charge the masses.
The subversive intention would be to out-shine the staid and feeble official best game of the month disaster. What do MODS know about chess?

We could offer cash prizes 1st:10% 2nd: 40% 3rd: 60% of the total prize fund which the fine print states could be nothing or next to nothing.

Maybe we could get the Nik to judge and of course he would also flag many suspicious games for free.
In theory, you could win the competition AND simultaneously get flagged as suspicious.
So most deficient game by a suspicious character.
Seriously...
PS: Excuse the mod crack.
Well as blunder led to #2 not great game , but I guess chess is a bit like art ,as in judging which is the best work of art , it's virtually impossible to say which is poor, better and best , its just the moderators personal choice and impossible to recognise all the thinking behind the moves ,just a bit of fun ,I suppose , I gave the game a thumbs up to show no hard feelings really lol but my first impression was that it wasn't a great game . As black castled into trouble but you can debate chess games till the cows come home xxx
why you find it bad? white played quite smooth, no mistakes or blunders only inaccuracy, maybe there was more beauty games, but that was good and felt quite nice too,show other games you find better
