Kg4 should also be fine

Ng4 doesn't work because of Kh1. Nd1 blocks the rook allowing the queen to mate if the king doesn't move to f1.

Why not the double check?
jackofalltrades
Because if you move the knight back to h3 delivering a double check, the king moves back to h1 and you're exactly where you were at the start of the puzzle. Repetition=bad in tactics trainer.

brilliant

After Nd1 I expected white to play Kh1 (but it didn't) to have it followed with Qe1, leading to mate because the Rook on b1 is blocked. A nice tactic also.

WHEN THE HORSE GO TO BLACK KING LINE, WHY THE BLACK KING DON'T RETURN TO THE CORNER PLACE?
Because of Qe1. Remember the Rook on b1 is no longer garding the backline since it is blocked by the Knight.

Only 10 points, why they give others like 30 points. I don't understand.
