EDIT: Never mind, failed to realise that you asked to input Black's first three moves into the puzzle and not Black's first move.

That's the idea Black had. To check the White King with the Knight and capture the White Knight after the White King moved out of check.

Perhaps, Black didn't think White would give up the Queen to take the Black Knight?

These are great!

Nice puzzle. That pawn blunder definitely gives Black a winning advantage. Still a bit of work to do, though to find Mate.
