A mate in three moves

I played a game here on chess.com. From this position I was able to mate my opponent in three moves. Let us discuss this and learn. I played white pieces.

Your analysis is wrong.

Might check your position. Can't be white to move unless you're playing at Washington Square for two bucks a game.

Oh, and SupremeOverlord's analysis is correct in this position.. :)

Better yet, how is it mate in 3?

This is clearly mate in one. I'm just going to grab the king with the queen.

Haven't you guys learned the rules of chess? Don't you know that it's illegal to capture the King?!?!

You've obviously never played OTB blitz!

The whole point is actually to capture the king. If you capture the king the game is won.

Actually you just surround it on all sides with a bunch of thugs and act really intimidating until it gives up.

I've done that an abundance of times without success. I'm not able to give the final check.
