    for those who didn't see it immediately 😉

    Qh4+ g3
    Qxg3{note: NOT Bxg3*} hxg3
    Bxg3#

    You may wonder why not Bxg3 on move 2?
    Because it doesn't include an 'impressive' queen sac ^^

    precisely, especially the *

    Always give up your queen when possible.

    You have to be prepared and learn the accepted From. If you avoid the one-move threats, which is all the From really is, (albeit a lot of them in quick succession) white will have a significant plus.
    White can decline the From Gambit with: 1.f4 e5 2. e4 which is fine and called the King's Gambit.
