Lichess Game of the Month March - Contest

A game which was decided by tactical details, followed by multiple sacrifices not accepted by the opponent, undoubtedly a beauty.
A game with a Rook sacrifice and with a Queen sacrifice.
Behold!
The kings gambit,
featuring a strong center
a crushing attack
and a glorious victory!

Here is an anti- French Defense Game!

This game shows the dominance of my minor pieces by taking advantage of the typical doubled pawns in the Grand Prix Attack.
