playing very different way, almost lost, mate in one.... got lucky!!! WON because my opponent left the game lol.

BEST GAME EVER!!!

That's something that needs to be fixed surely? The best outcome for white is a draw, so it should be given as a draw right?
weird indeed... might be a specific lichess rule for players leaving the game ?
Even the FIDE definition of resigning kind of implies that getting mated is a possibility:

resigns: 5.1.2 Where a player gives up, rather than play on until mated.

(Also, you can't just "resign" by leaving the game; you have to declare that you resign)
I think White can't win this position even if he plays both White and Black and so shouldn't be given a win. A draw would be fair enough.
internet, job, wife, valid reasons to left the game, but white never won.
