So I was pretty much on the back foot for most of this endgame because all I had was a rook and knight against his rook and three pawns which were marching close to promotion. In order to keep tempo I had to basically repeatedly check him, to the point he eventually blundered and played Ka5, letting me grab a surprise checkmate. Upon having a look, I think I might have managed to pull off an Anastasia's mate.

Even if it isn't, it's still quite an interesting position to look at! I was trying to force a draw, but an unexpected checkmate is still welcome!
