Lichess Antichess Game of the Month August — Contest

<Comment deleted by user>
I have decided to participate in the August GotM with a win against the current ACWC World Champion. The time control is 0+2 but you can see that both of us played normal human moves and the game went mildly without any obvious mistakes and blunders. However, all of a sudden, even though I had more pieces than him in the endgame, with such a low time on the clock, I could think of a proper way how to set up and position my pieces in order to win regardless of what he decided to promote his pawn to. Out of curiosity, although I know that computer analyses, percentages, and graphs aren't taken into consideration, feel free to check those as well. It turns out that I had the advantage throughout the entire game despite having the black pieces.

Umm...I thought this game was a nice comeback?..
I’m not a great antichess player, just wanted to be a part of the initiative. You guys rock :)
I'm offering my game against Zooey to the court. The peculiarity is that already on the 3rd move, in a seemingly calm position, it suddenly turns out that black is losing forcibly.
Of course, I did not realize this during the game (I do not know how to calculate positions 16 moves ahead), but the analysis after the game showed that black's position after the 3rd move is hopeless.



My submission was a interesting game with a relatively calm opening and middle game. The deciding moment happen with a (i thought) not easy to find move on 21 ..e5. This led to a difficult endgame for the opponent, which put pressure and lead to the final mistake.
