I have a lot to learn when it comes to end game strategy, but there are a few endings I study on a regular basis. One is when you have a rook and a king and your opponent has just a king. I have had people offer me a draw in such situations because they couldn't checkmate me (which I gladly accepted) and others blunder me into a stalemate. In the following game I found myself with the rook and king at the end of the game. My study of this end game situation lead to an easy checkmate. I share the game so everyone can see how to do such (as long as you don't use it against me!).....Jake
