Here is another Split the Rooks problem I came across today on Tactics Trainer. I failed it, but it did remind me of this even more difficult version I came across last year that I posted.

While doing this problem, I saw the Split the Rooks theme but my visualization failed me, so I didn't "see" the sideline correctly.

 

From 2012 to 2017 I pursued aggressive adult improvement (starting at age 43). I recorded my journey here as I gained over 400 rating points over two years, peaking at 1753 USCF in 2015. After taking a multi-year break to complete my doctorate, I returned to competitive chess in 2024.
