I’m really not happy with GOTM this time,
This was just a normal game of two 2000s playing chess. A game about how the knight came to g1 and he blundered checkmate on h6. I couldn’t see what was so interesting in this game

You need a really high IQ to appreciate this game.
No offence but this just seems to be a very childish answer. Being a 2289, I can process basic information about the game and I didn’t really understand what was so interesting.
And what the game is being judged on? Accuracy? Then who’d play Qe8 and blunder mate? It was not a clear victory ( tho it was a decent advantage.) and black could played rh8 and fought on. If the criterion for the judgement were brilliancies and spectacular finishes, this wasn’t quite so spectacular.
No offence to the guys who played the game, just not satisfied with this GOTM and judgement by lichess.
Just see the first GOTM and compare it with this lichess.org/@/Lichess/blog/lichess-game-of-the-month-april/3SN0Jbxm
I would also like to know the criterion of the judgement.
Peace out,
