Two Rooks — the Lawnmower Mate: an endgame course

Use one rook to restrict the king while the other gives check. Keep both rooks beyond the king’s reach.

4 lessons, each followed by its own puzzle drill, then 10 themed puzzle packs.

• The Ladder — Alternate checking and restricting roles between the rooks.
• Alternate Rook Checks — Keep reducing the king’s space with safe checks.
• When the King Attacks a Rook — Move an attacked rook far enough away to remain safe.
• The Final Rank — Clear your own blockers before the final rook check.
