The solution, for those who can't solve it, is [hidden]1.gxf6(ep) Kh7 2.f7 h4 3.f8(N)#[/hidden].
Black's last move could have been -1. ... gx[anything]h5

Hmm... Well for now just move the bPf5 to f6. I forgot all about that little rule.

It's not a "rule", it just happens to be a possible last move in this position, thus making e.p. "invalid".

Well, just because there are possible last moves other than ...f5 doesn't make ep invalid it is invalid as a rule.... I think. That would make sense at least since black could have played ...f5. Anyway its all semantics and that isn't the point of the problem. The OP insisted a post a knight mate so I did (flawed but still a knight mate)

White to move; mate in two. Click "Play" to see the answer. Click PGN to see alternative variations. 🙂

You have the tags correct but you need the actual pgn instead of the game ID.

Stop flaming. Nobody has any reason to be jealous of you and we are perfectly within the topic of the thread.
