Glitch

Lichess may have glitched.
The number of pawns the opponent has than you is over than 8, which is physically impossible (taken note that this is not crazyhouse). We can see that because the pawns have gone off the visible screen.

However, some parts of your screenshots make me skeptical about what I said above.

There is also something else that is eye catching, other than the pawns. @Michal_wieckowiski (the opponent) rating says 2250 -6-6-6. I checked the game and it said -6, not with the extra 2 -6's.

The game has not even ended, at least not at the moment (Q(x)f3#), so the rating could not be deducted. Also, lichess deducts rating in the simplest form. Say -30 for my opponent. Lichess doesn't do -10-10-10, -6-6-6-6-6, -5-5-5-5-5-5, -15-15 etc.

I think @Entuzijasta really did left click on his or her mouse and then clicked on "Inspect" on the drop down menu. After, the code that designs and creates the page is shown (usually on the right side of the screen). Then he or she clicked on one of the code controlling the material number and made the pawns a enormous number, like 1,000,000,000,000 or something. Then he or she went to the code of the ratings and wrote in -6-6 (like I said in paragraph 3). However, this does not appear for the opponent.

I am not a pro coder, but I've used the left-click+inspect trick before to destroy many websites. Nobody else sees it, only you.

I'm 95% sure that @Entuzijasta is just sending lichess fake problems, there are just too many reasons why.
I'm 5% sure that there is an actual glitch and this problem needs to be addressed.
I see this as funny, not as important, because all happened after checkmate, and refresh fixed everything.

If it's important, here is a better report:
There was no checkmate sound, no result, no rating change for me. All visible in screenshot, as well as sixes and pawns.
In deeper inspection, game is here lichess.org/irrpOEPezKI7 , there is another bug. Those bishop and knight were not material difference, not in finished scene, not the move before.

PS
I'm kinda Photoshop master, so I have no need to hack "inspect". I could make up more interesting and believable things if I were into it.
