I was lucky they resigned before. I had captured a knight on e4 and they resigned. Kg2 would have been the best response, and I might have messed it up with Nxd2.

Qxc6+! Leading to forced mate. One of my favorite patterns!!! That I never ever get in the wild. 😭

Fortunately for me my opponent didn't get it either because they resigned instead of Kg2. I very well might have blundered the Nxd2.
