The better way:
Checkmate with pieces
Sort:
no puzzle
just practice in custom position vs bot
Thanks for the help

Your advice on 2 rooks is also quite bad. In that position, any sensible person would start with Ra3 or Rh3. The black king is close to the first row, it's baffling to try to chase it to row 8.
In an earlier post, "A Double knight can checkmate" is just wrong.
I suggest that you learn stuff first, and try to teach later.
Any sensible person would abandon the game because something has obviously gone very wrong.
The stronger side's king can often be significant in effecting the quickest mate in KRRvK. In OP's position WK on e4 would be mate in 1.

Here are some puzzles to solve Topic Queen Mate
How the hell is anyone going to find your solution? I started off Qd1 which is the only fastest move and it told me to go forth etc.
This is a mate in 7 and you take 14 moves.
DUDE I AM JUST TRYING TO EXPLAIN IT FOR BEGINNERS WHAT THE POINT ITS JUST FASTER RIGHT?

Those beginners would be better off if you didn't. Your examples are confusing and often just wrong.

Even beginners would find an explanation that makes sense easier to understand.
Posting a puzzle with a solution that takes twice as long as it should is just useless. Actually posting a KQvK position as a puzzle is generally useless because there are usually a fair number of different fastest mates.

The two rook mate is the easiest mate and you have to trap the opponent's king on a side of a board.
No you don't.

Just tried the above exercise myself.
Can anyone explain the comments top right for me?

Coach apparently doesn't wholly approve my last move. Can anyone explain why for me?
"The Coach" is awful and is full of bugs. That's why.

When the opponent's king reaches the edge then place your rook so the king gets trapped at the edge
Imagine the three critical squares controlled by the king are pawns like the backrank mate

I know how to do the knight and bishop mate but its to hard
Just do lessons, but I still want to help beginners.

Checkmate With Queen
. You want to pretend that the Queen is like a knight the Queen should go on a position where its a knights Distance From the king repeat the same process until the king goes to the corner dont go on a knights Distance trick instead bring the king closer to king and checkmate with the kings defense
This is a great way to stalemate the opponent. Bad advice.
You should know how to avoid stalemate.

Beginners don't. I think someone who taught beginners once posted that about 90% finish up in stalemate at a first attempt at KQvK.
Unless the lone king is on a corner square all stalemates occur with the queen a knight's move away from the opposing king and the queen can stalemate all on her ownio if the lone king is on a corner square, by standing a knight's move away.
You say, "the Queen should go on a position where its a knights Distance From the king repeat the same process until the king goes to the corner". But the king doesn't necessarily go to a corner.
KNIGHT + BISHOP MATE:
NOTE: the king can only be checkmated in the same colour-corner as the bishop
