Rook and king mate!
Sort:
simple rook and king mate
This can help you if you have an endgame position with an king and rook for white or black what ever colour you are!and an king!
Actually, Shredder's tablebase says there are a number of mates in 12. Kd3 Kd5 Re4 Kc5 Rd4 Kb5 Rc4 Ka5 Kc3 Kb5 Kb3 Ka5 Rb4 Ka6 Ka4 Ka7 Ka5 Ka8 Kb6 Kb8 Rc4 Ka8 Rc8 is one of them.

That could happen too but after 4.Kc6 in your puzzle Matalino black doesn't have to play Kb8 it could play Kd8 and play it back and forth until you do something about the square d8 and c8!
Not Really........

Good job h777. Remember ZUGZWANG well. Your example is a Mate in 12 not 14. And it is an easy and not a hard thing.
Its mate in 14 not mate 12 check it out!
mate in 14 this one is hard!
