The first move is always: white rook takes black rook, then the only remaining move for black is to move the knight away, which results in checkmate.

If you play the game, you realise this ends up in stalemate.

Black can’t move the knight: it’s illegal to make a move that puts yourself in check. Thus black has no legal moves, but isn’t in check, so the result is a draw.
