I couldn't remember all the exact moves so I missed the h3 move, but luckily it worked out.

Legal's mate just shows you how powerful two knights side by side can be.
Yeah. It also shows how important it is to develop your pieces and castle as soon as you can to prevent tricky tricky knight stuff. In blitz games, the two bishops are good for endgames, but it's the knights that are responsible for the naughty tactics.
