A mind boggling puzzle

This is a puzzle that took a grandmaster two days to figure out.  If you can solve this in 24 hours, you are a really good player. 

 

A game started with 1. e4.  On move five, a knight captured a rook giving checkmate.  What moves occurred in the game?

KillaBeez, was this a blindfold chess game? ;)

No.  Use a board you have at home to try to find a game that fits the conditions I have previously listed.

I've found a solution... it took me like 15 minutes, and i don't think i'm even close to be a master of anything...

I can't even figure out how tHyper made and inserted that dynamic diagram into his comment. How about someone filling me in on that.

When you are writing a comment, click on the board picture that appears at the top of the screen.  Then it will give you some options.  Click which option you want and then insert the position and the moves.  Then insert the diagram or move list and submit the comment.  Hope that helps!
