Ok, so if you have 2 rooks and your opponent doesn’t have anything left, you can use this beautiful forced mate. So this is how you do it. 1. Put a rook 1 row above the king. DO NOT PUT THE ROOK WHERE THE KING CAN CAPTURE IT!!!! It can be anywhere, just don’t put it where the second rook can get stuck.
2. Keep moving the rooks down, eventually forcing the king to the bottom where you can checkmate it.
