The Game starts
One Rook
 |
One Rook is missing from the easy “Rook Roll” Mate. The Strong King will have to replace it to prevent the Lone King from escaping |
An example of the method:
| 1. Rg5+ Ke6 | 6. Rd5 Kf6 | 11. Kf5 Kg7 | |
| 2. Kb2 Kf6 | 7. Re5 Kg6 | 12. Re7+ Kf8 | |
| 3. Rc5 Ke6 | 8. Ke4 Kf6 | 13. Kf6 Kg8 | |
| 4. Kc3 Kd6 | 9. Kf4 Kg6 | 14. Re8+ Kh7 | |
| 5. Kd4 Ke6 | 10. Re6+ Kf7 | 15. Rf8 | |
 |
A waiting move (15. Rf8) that is fundamental in order to oblige 15. ... Kh6 |
We want to point out the typical mechanism to force the Lone King to the Edge:
 |
In this situation we want the Lone King to move – its move favors us- and so we decide |
1. Rf4
The King will have to go back or face our King.
1. ...Kd6
2. Rf6+
and with our check we will push it to the Fatal Edge.
