Altough I blundered my queen, I managed to checkmate with the Arabian mate

Good idea! Although Anastasia‘s Mate is a bit harder to achieve, and I have to overcome the fear of sacrificing my queen in more complex checkmate patterns.

I'm also looking to play the Greek Gift, but this exact pattern almost never happens

Sacing your Queen is not a matter of emotions I’d say. It’s a matter of careful calculation.

The Greek Gift is another thing. I play it regularly and a few weeks ago I won OTB with it and the engine proved us wrong afterwards. But a bishop can be worth taking a risk.
