2 Rook Mate - The Rook Roller

2 Rook Mate - The Rook Roller

This mate is considered to be the easiest mate. The rook roller is like stepping. One rook steps up a rank, and the other steps a rank above that. To see an example look below.

But what if you want to go move the rooks horizontally, covering files instead of ranks? See the example below to see how.
