Lichess Game of the Month December - Contest

How to Win Due to Online Chess Mistakes.



The game is a draw no matter what, but white pieces WON because TIME!

Was it a Lichess mistake or do you think this should be allowed in online chess?

This is one of the rare cases acknowledged in lichess.org/faq#timeout

You can't call it a mistake because programming the detection of such situations is extremely problematic and may well be impossible to cover all possibilities.
Game 8 should deserve game of the month because all the other games the one who lost makes a piece blunder but in game 8 white has put pressure and won using a beautiful move(tactic). Who all agree with this comment reply W,️and :),:D and :P to this comment.
