Hi Edward,
No, because the knight can be captured on f3. I had a very hard time
explaining this puzzle
If the black queen had been on e4, for example, and the pawn on g2 had
been on g3, then it would be a self-mate because the pawn on e2 could
not capture the knight without exposing the king to queck from the black
queen. But you have the right idea about putting the king in check from
white's own pieces.
What we need here is for both players to make similar moves, and white's
eighth move will put his own king in imaginary check, and there is no
legal move to "get out of it."
this one is HARD!

Hello Rod and All,
In your scenario wouldn't the simple move of Nf3++ be checkmate against the
white king?
