The Two-Rook Checkmate
Often times a player finds themselves left with two rooks 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 one rook to build a wall
- Check with the other rook
- If ever in trouble ... RUN AWAY (keep the wall)
- Never place rooks so they block each other
- One rook holds the wall, the other checks
- Eventually ... CHECKMATE!!!
