Must be a long time ago I had a position like this.

Well played! The checkmate was obvious and not difficult to calculate from the point you played gxf8Q. I believe the checkmate is easy enough and I would be able to do this even under a serious time pressure because Bf5+ is very easy to see.

Cheers!
I actually didn't see Bf5+ right away, only after I played Qxf8+ I saw it.
But the position felt good, and I figured that the black king was a bit more exposed than the white king. Also, the excitement to let the 2nd black queen stay on the board was very tempting.
I vaguely remember that in a Karpov-Korchnoi game there were 3 queens and a rook and some more pieces and pawns on the board : draw !
Queen sacrifices can be very tempting for me :)
Here's 2 blunder-ful games with queen sacs today :
2 white rooks and bishop and knight and pawns vs. black queen + rook + pawns :

Queen for 2 light pieces. I was a bit absent minded in the end and overlooked d4d3+ a few times :|
