ah, that was brilliant, absolutely!!! but i just think that it is not possible to have that in real life, i mean who would go to the trouble of screwing themselves up that much?
One vs. All

As I said, it is a study.
cool!
Great!!! Brilliant!!!
why can't we move the pawn 2 squares the first time?
coyotte: The reasoning, I think, behind only moving the pawn one space for its first move is the positioning of Black's queen. If the White pawn moves two spaces for its first move, that eliminates one of Black's Queen's moves. Therefore, when the Knight moves to capture the Black Rook, the Queen would be in position to capture the White Knight, ending any chance of White winning the game.

The black queen would end up on h7 and able to capture the knight on f6
ptuin: I think you mean the Queen would be on a2 and be able to capture on b3, but yeah we said the same thing. 
You don't get many like that! Wow

the knight could just move around some more until the queen is in the correct position, then mate

That doesn't work as the knight cannot win a tempo. It will jump from white to black and vice versa, just like the queen.
What an entertaining puzzle!
Nice puzzle! I really like puzzles like that
Why wouldn't black just move its pawn to e3 or e4 and free the rook, instead of fiddling back and forth with the queen?
beezer: Uhh, the pawns for black CAN'T move. Black is moving down the board.
Oh.
This is a study, but still interesting.
And just for no confusion, white wins.
