The Rook-King Checkmate
Often times a player finds themselves left with one rook and yet struggles to checkmate their opponent. Watch the video to the right to learn a very important pattern so that you can checkmate every time under these conditions.
- Use the rook to build a wall
- Put your king in position so your opponent aligns
- If ever in trouble ... RUN AWAY (keep the wall)
- Waste a rook move when needed
- Eventually ... CHECKMATE!!!
