I literally gave up a free queen a few moves into a Scandi, but my opponent’s king was smack in the center of the board so I got my sh*t together and quickly mated him a la Morphy

(Just came out of a serious slump...after a week of absolutely garbage chess I took a day off to study, then today I won 19 of 23 games and gained back 120 rating points)
