Why not knight e3 first. White has to take it with the pawn or it's mate next turn, then queen g2 mate?

Because white doesn't have to take the knight first. White can trade queens there, and then the knight is lost on the next move.

Right, thanks.

Also, g2 would be defended by the white queen after the f pawn takes the knight
