Outstanding Teaching Example!!! 😃
Wonderful Knight Boot Camp!!
Seizing the Opposition!
By 1. Ka8, White forces Black to move a Knight, since his King is landlocked. By moving a Kt, Black relinquishes his guard of 1 square. THAT'S the one White moves to. N(d7) guards b6, N(f5) guards e7. That's how this cookie crumbles.

Once you know the theory, , , ,
... it's a cinch!
Go ahead and try it again several times, you soon won't have to stop and think about it, and then you're that much closer to a speed chess expert! 😁

One More Thing!
(Said Peter Falk as Columbo!).
{{ Hahahahaha }}
If Black moves to the square that Kt guards, then THAT'S the one you take. I.e., if 1... Ne7, 2. N×e7#. If 1...Nb6, 2. N×b6#. And Bob's your uncle! 🥳
