What a move! He protected the king, now I cant check mate him... WAIT A SECOND!!!!

Found forced mate and was really proud, can you find it? (Stockfish has mate in 10 but for real people my level it's mate in 3)

Best mate I've had in a while

After they hung their knight and I captured, they didn't resign or continue playing but instead just waited almost 5 minutes
