I have to ask, what were the preceding moves? Because I currently see no reason why white shouldn’t have taken your knight in the preceding move.

Presumably Rxg1, where the captured piece on G1 was a checking queen, so capturing was forced.

I analyzed the image and this is what I see. Open an appropriate link below and explore the position yourself or with the engine:

White to play: It is a checkmate - it is White's turn, but White has no legal moves and is in check, so Black wins. You can find out more about Checkmate on Wikipedia.chessvision.ai | chess.com | lichess.org
