1.Gd3 Bc4 2.Gb5 Bb3 3.Gb2 Rh7 4.Gg7 Rh3 5.Ge5 Rd3 6.f5 Bd5#

 

Back-Home: if a side can move a piece (King included) to the square it occupied in the initial position, it must do it, unless a self-check.

Grasshopper (G): Hops on Q-lines over any one unit (the hurdle) to the next square beyond.

Refreshing idea, but it should be even better if the mate will be model. Is this possible?

Probably yes, but the intention was only to show a "semi" back-home play. Indeed the grasshopper is almost not sensible to this condition (as their legal moves are generally not symmetric), hence the back-home constraint is mostly concentrated on the white side.
