checkmate with a knight and a rook

here is game I recently did play. I would never have known how to mate with rook and knight without becoming chessdotcom member, and watching video that is provided.. I mean it, they don't make me say it.

this would have been nicer if it wasn't in puzzle form

(^_ ^  ) now try

This reminds me of the time I first sacrificed my queen to mate with two knights.  Although I had a mate in one before I sacked my queen, I thought it would be a lot more fun.

is chess.com paying you to advertise their videos?

no, they don't do it. i am the truth.

I thought my opponent would knight and rook mate me but he was luckily dumb as flip and I beat him with four queens

Use the box method.

If you have a knight (and rook) it's even easier, but it's more complicated, just use the king and rook

what you did is fine tho

there is also 2 knights mate

Though the game is going to end in stalemate I think

In theory, you can checkmate with just a rook and the king (I think it's easier). For the knight, I find interesting the knight + bishop checkmate pattern.

yeah when I have a rook and a knight and I have less than like 20 secs I just give up my knight so there is a way smaller possibility of stalemate

Or I just keep it in the corner

Nice Arabian mate!
