Okay, this one is easy because its too obvious and capturing the queen is forced so I can see the result, but it also depends of the turn of the player, if its black to play then its not checkmate because black can do something about it

I wouldn't call that a sacrifice. It's a mating tactic. A real sacrifice is to play a tactic which leaves you down on material but with a positional advantage.
I'd agree with the OP. It's difficult in Speed Chess to sacrifice a Queen then work a win with minor pieces while the opponent's Queen can continuously, safely, probe for inaccuracies with little thought.

Why? i only can see moves in the future when its too obvious
I hate bringing my queen out early, even when theory tells me I must as in this line:
but if a queen is too much up in my castle, especially with backup, i'll get right in another queens face for trading or chasing.
relying too much on your queen is probably THE biggest beginner mistake, especially bringing her out too early and putting a target on her back.
get your knights out first, then your bishops, and then your rooks or queen, but only when she has backup and a clear exit. i will chase a queen with every piece I have just to develop and claim space and sometimes even, trap her
as the first reply pointed out, queen sacks are often necessary for the mate. I remember a DELICIOUS ONE in a game where I checked in the center with my queen precisely so the piece that took her would block the king's only exit from a mate by KNIGHT. my opponent evn asked me "are you SURE you want to do that", he didn't see it either when i replied "oh, I'm sure, are YOU sure?" before knight to mate
just giving a queen up for no compensation is worst, but not doing it when it wins is even worserer

Okay, but i also rely on my other pieces
1: i cant even see 2 moves in the future
2: The queen is the strongest piece
3: if anything goes wrong i lose the game (and theres 100% chance i will lose the game if i dont have a queen but my oponent have one
4: I am mentally too sane
