chessnoob, it is checkmate in one if you do Rxh5
#1575: why on earth would black move it's queen away from the 6th rank? personally I thing Qh6 or Qf6 would be a much more appropriate response from black

True, Nxa2 isn't forced, but 2. Kxa2 is mated by 2... Ra7#. Since the puzzler doesn't 'make' white's move... you simply have to respond to the move made.
The smothered mate isn't forced, but it is a forced mate in 2.
Should'nt it be 1.Qxa2+...Kxa2,not 2.Kxa2?

From my game.It is incredibly hard.Pass rate would be probably around 5%.

I like the idea of not just Qf3+ cause that would only draw the king back and the board and position wouldnt be that open for black. Instead you go all the way around and make the pawns come out, with the same result of taking the Knight with the Queen
Well it's actually more that Qf3+ looks straightforward but doesn't really win you the knight. After Qf3+, nf6 defends the king while putting the knight out of danger. Even more the knight defends the future d5 pawn blocking a possible Bishop attack.
