Instructive games: IM plays passive Scandinavian and GM punishes him for lack of counterplay

I sometimes follow titled players online when I'm too tired to play my own games. And sometimes I get rewarded with an instructive game.

​Point 1: According to GM Nunn the Scandinavian is a bit passive. I play it sometimes in blitz games but there are better openings for Black.

​Point 2: Black fails to get counterplay and only plays with his Queen. By the time his pawns start rolling with b5 it's too late.

​Point 3: Watch how the GM attacks without rushing; he avoids trading Queens, and finds the final crushing rook sacrifice Rxf7! His target was clear from very early on.
