I think I’ve invented a new checkmate…

It requires:

- four rooks

- two knights

And the crucial final ingredient:

- to seat your King on the enemy King’s throne

Has this been done before? Here it is… playhand

I must admit, that is a pretty neat pattern. Of course, you have to be aiming for that pattern to actually get it, and that is why most people don't deliver this type of checkmate, since the setup takes so long, and most opponents resign or stop playing moves once they are losing...

I deem that's interesting but time-consuming, lol.But actually two rooks can checkmate the king.

A single rook can do it, a bishop and a knight can do it.

800s or trolling titled players - there is virtually zero in between grin.png

Also this "art" checkmate probably isn't a labeled checkmate pattern because it is so uncommon in a chess game, but closest is probably the "surrounding pattern" where one side creates a mating net by taking away all of the King's escape squares and then a simple check will be checkmate. Technically, this situation would be that, so this checkmate is already named...sort of xD

Oddly enough, removing both rooks on the 2nd or 4th ranks will still be checkmate

Oh look, I invented a new checkmate pattern...

Commit this to memory in case you ever see it over the board.

Here is the same mate, minus two useless rooks and one useless bishop. You can even remove another useless knight if you place Black's king at c2/c3/c4.

At your level, just do not try inventing new things.

99 times out of 100 you will invent something that exists already, and the remaining one time you will invent something incredibly stupid.
