Lichess Game of the Month April - Contest

I haven't had many wins this month , but this one was probably the best
There were mistakes but the end position is unimaginable. I haven't ever seen this position until it happened unexpectedly. (Flip to black's side to witness this craziness)

I crushed a Caro Kaan Defense with Two Knights Attack and the opponent was 100 ELO higher than me. In this game you can find a 3 brilliant moves & 3 great moves.. Watch this Intense Game

> Greek gift sack against 1900 in yearly rapid.
Everybody will love this game if they love Magnus Carlsen! (Credits to GM Levy Rozman a.k.a GothamChess for giving me this stupendous idea!)
