Not very accurate play (71%) but I have landed this fun checkmate a few times, it can be hard to see. Queen sacrifice at the end is classified as brilliant by the engine. I play scotch a lot and always look for quick traps and mates but I have to say you can get punished easily if you don’t play accurately against higher rated players.

 

If they to kg8 like they did here you can also play c3 and threaten mate in 2 with qb3+ which leads to a discovered check with en passant when they interpose with d5.
