I wasn't able to solve because of it. A lot of these puzzles are like that.

Well said Woutstra. Even if Queen is taken, Nh6 is mate also. Think too many people are too quick to criticise. This is a nice puzzle!

maintaining check

What is obvious from the start is that white must maintain check or otherwise be attacked, so the only question is where to put the knight. I thought this was a good puzzle.

Not too hard, but a very beautiful puzzle. Would feel great to get to play a mate like this in an OTB game...

Nice puzzle

areopagus, please look at Options -> Another solution ... (fxg5). I suppose you're talking about that one.

I believe the pawn couldn't move because the White Bishop was covering the square and it would have put the black king in check
