I had no idea what I was trying to do. Great puzzle as always, kingdawar.

The queen had to constantly guard two spots to keep the knight from getting mate.

Bluefalchion's explanation is correct, the queen cannot defend both d5 and g8. A very strong problem although such things are said too often...
