While it's not a Scandinavian and contains a lot of questionable moves, but this 3/0 game was rather fun:

Yes, Qe6+ has been a Scandinavian thorn in chess-players' sides since time immemorable.

Oddly, and truthfully, enough, I woke up this morning dreaming about tacos ( I only eat the veggie version).
Maybe it was fate?
Fun games.
In the first game, did Black miss 12... Qxg5 ?
In the second game, why did you give away your rook on move 15?

I saw that right after I moved my Bishop. I was pretty relieved when he moved his pawn instead.

I saw if KxR then Nc6 gave a royal fork on c6, but only after I moved the rook did I notice that his knight protected c6. 3 min. games are like that.
I've been running into a lot of the Scandinavian defense myself lately. Absolutely can't stand it,
I think next time I face it, I'll transpose into the blackmar diemer.
knight takes on f3 might be better objectively, but queen takes is a known line. If black takes the pawn on d4, you can play bisshop e3 with tempo. If the queen goes to b4, you can go into the halosar trap.
Well it's not really the best opening you can play but I'm not the best player in the world, nor do I play against very high rated players. So it's very playable for fast games, like batgirl posted.
In the second game, 26. Qxb6+ Ka8 27. Ra1+ Qa7 28. Rxa7#

A King's Gambit player should feel a natural affinity to Blackmar-Diemer. I think it's a good idea. Scandinavian guys usually hate Blackmar-Diemer too so that's another reason to go for it (at least in fast games or OTB).

@ChristianSoldier007: Interesting ... on move #3 I think I'll grab one of the pawns, though.
There..... I did it.
Haters gonna hate
3.d4 Qe6+?
A move that shows black doesn't know his theory:
3 min games are not really chess, just fun stuff for traps.

3/0 isn't the same as standard chess. Traps can determine a game and often do, just as time often does, but it's not about traps anymore than it's about time. I think it's mostly about speed of calculation compared that of to your opponent, a bit of quick creativity and learning to balance clock time vs depth, making complications favorable to the quick witted and clarity favorable to the deeper thinker who can milk a slight advantage.
True. In fast games, you need to find small tactics and just natural moves to carry the day. Also, knowing openings up to X moves helps. A few of my opponents had a mate in 1 but missed because of time!
Maybe 3/0 is similar to chess, but 1/0 is just a video game! (It's fun, though)
Actually, after losing several games in a row to various opponents, I beat a guy somewhat higher rated but who played way below that level (not that my own play was great - his was just so much worse.) Anyway, here's our dance, the Scandinavian Shuffle:
