Puzzle Rush Score 32

Today I lost a blitz game when I had a winning position. I missed a very basic checkmate because my mind was focused on other things and so after making a few interesting moves I just gave it away. It is quite an instructive game though and I learnt a few valuable lessons.

I went on to read a short study on bringing the queen out too early as this is one of the drawbacks of the Scandinavian (like in the game above) as the queen can be kicked around the board with tempo.
