A) 1:...   N-e2+    2:Kh1   Nh5-g3# ;or 1:....   N-e2+  2:Kh3   Q-c8+   3:g4    Nh3-f4#

for both variations, neither Nhg3+ or Nhf4+ is not mate since Kh2 is still possible due to the knight blocking the bishop path..

also, by simply doing a discovered check rather than the double check then g3 can be done to simply block the path is another option. though g3 will result in the loss of the pawn, no mate occurs in 6

I first guessed Nd7. Why does this fail???

Black's knights can't go to d7. I'm guessing you mean Ne2 which I talked about already.

Took a couple of tries but I still got it.

i dont get why whites second move is like that cant they just take the knight

that's a double check

bishop is checking the king at the same time

 Where got double check? Or is it that i didn't get what you mean?

king can't take knight on move two because Ng3 is checkmate, not sure if anyone actually stated that.

Also move 5 can be Bd2 (if i am not mistaken, Qg1 if Queen captures and Qe3 for either of the K moves)

and good line for what to do if Kh3, I looked for like three mintues and still couldn't find it until after i saw the hint for move 2.
