This game involves 2 pawns sacrifices in the opening and down in the middle game, there was a double rook sacrifice, which paved way for the checkmate at h8.

This game was short and had no less than 5 viable queen sacrifices for White within 20 moves, and an elegant checkmate.

An unusually creative scotch game, closely held by both players, until the white queen turns greedy and eats a poisoned pawn. Just one blunder leads to a beautiful checkmate.
