Checkmate with Rook and King

The king and rook checkmate is a basic endgame skill that is often needed. However, beginner level players often struggle with it, since it requires a more sophisticated technique compared to other scenarios, such as the ladder checkmate. Mastering the king and rook checkmate is an important step towards becoming an intermediate level player. Here, you can train that type of endgame by playing it against a chess engine.
