Ladder Checkmate

The ladder checkmate is one of the most basic endgame techniques that a chess player has to master. It is performed with two rooks by repeatedly pushing the opponent's king towards one of the borders, where it can be eventually checkmated. Practice your ladder mating skills by trying to beat the chess engine in the position below:
