How To Checkmate With A Rook And King?

How To Checkmate With A Rook And King?
In chess, knowing how to checkmate with just a rook and a king is a crucial skill to have. And the box technique is a popular and effective method for achieving this.
In this video, we will go through step-by-step instructions on how to set up the board, how to execute the box technique, and how to recognize the patterns that will lead to the checkmate. You will learn about the role of the rook in the checkmate, and how to force the enemy king to move towards the edge of the board.
We will also discuss some common mistakes to avoid and how to anticipate your opponent's possible defenses. By the end of this video, you will have a solid understanding of how to checkmate with a rook and a king using the box technique.

[@johnclemence6566]

[@Goku-sj5sm]

[@allasar]

Only a total noob would not be able to mate this way... so, yes I am :(.

[@jadensiewrattan5556]

Im here bc im in the middle of a game, i have 2 pawns, we both have 1 rook. Just preparing for the future. lol

[@joebermuda6452]

Those are easily the most frustrating checkmates especially on time control

[@rife133]

[@Sajid009]

I just missed the win cuz of 50 move rule 😂

I checkmated my friend once with a rook and my king when she had her 2 rooks, she made the mistake of giving me a free turn without check and moving her king into the corner

[@chessscape]

ouch 😅

[@staliczeno]

Keyword she anyways

[@milzex2082]

Rookie mistake

Fantastic video!!!! To the point, not long drawn out video. Thanks!!

[@danielc.6644]

Best tutorial I have found about this, maybe I am stupid(I am, probably) but the others tutorials were pretty confusing and I couldnt quite do it. Thanks mate.

[@samgriffin6013]

[@1kaz1]

Essential skill, thank you!

[@rhyanvalk7897]

You can also use the checkmqte trick to push the king to the edge

[@chessscape]

Thanks, Leclerc

[@mattizgir]

Gave a like for the mini explosion lol

[@jhoewin]

I've just played my last opponent and my opponent just abandoned the game because i forgot how to to do this😂

[@nihadzulcic4120]

I just lost because I didnt know how to do it... learned it!!! thank you

[@ber9ou930]

i magically saved a game with the rook and a king checkmate i was so low on time. i came running to check the right way to do it lmao.

[@Omegazelll]

Just fucking blundered this end game at the last move causing a stalemate so had to google it. I hope this will make me remember it forever

[@andrewcrane5105]

Very cool, I like things that make me cooler 😎

[@martinkvasnica5912]

Actually, I use the technique you use at the end also to bring him to the edge. I also use it with the Queen. Daruukh techniques are always the bests.😄

[@nilimadhore5742]

Thanks. I just drawed a game rn becuz I could not bring the king to the corner

[@rizanaakther5528]

Thx I was playing chess and i have only rook and my opponent lost all of his pieces but i don't know how to place checkmate with rook Then i minimize the app and watched your video and boom checkmate 😂😂😂

[@six-2519]

Please tell how to get this chess

[@bernardthefourth]

Ah just lost on time trying to figure this out thanks.

[@jagi7976]

Thanks. Just drew to a guy 300 Elo above me because I didn’t know I could checkmate with a rook and king vs a king. Ended up drawing bc of the 50 move rule lol

[@EitanV1]

thanks. never gonna draw because in this situation again 😅

[@user-ow6ci8pl4u]

He always dosent leave a chance for me to tighten when hes trapped in 3 squeares when i move my king up he goes sideweys when i move my king sideway he goes up

[@onedragoon]

I one rook end game i have to premove

[@SynthWasAlreadyTaken]

the thumbnail 💀

[@chessscape]

i agree. Working on this

[@mncdssctn9110]

When time is not a factor, I almost prefer to use a rook rather than a queen. I don’t trust myself to not walk into a stalemate.

[@hyemster2274]

when using queen, just make sure when king is on the edge of the board, the queen is not placed in knight position

[@someone-ln4cf]

But what if the opponent never get in the line with our king, and never gets in the corner?

[@ai_akamidori1919]

It has to do at least one of those eventually

[@philstallard2408]

You can move your rook to 'waste' a move. Then their King will have to get opposite you.

[@yashu1703]

Bro please tell me where i can practice theses moves like in this video, because in real game it is rare to get same situation...i mean is there any app or something where in can practice them just by only keeping both king and rook in the board and deleting other pieces 😢

[@shreejitparmar339]

There is an app called Leeches .. you can create your own game and play vs a friend or computer

[@yashu1703]

@@shreejitparmar339 ok thanks a lot brother 🫂

[@ACTINGSTAR77]

Why king can't cancel the rook diagonally

[@Sajid009]

I just missed win in a match cuz of the 50 move rule cuz I didn't know to mate with rook

[@Ken_710]

I came here when there was 30 seconds left in the match and now it's a draw. :(

[@ianjohnson171]

This only works if your opponent doesn't know what they're doing and puts their king in front of yours

[@OkoYT]

thanks for the vid, is this your voice or a voice changer?

[@7ttab371]

if he go to c8 instead of a8 you vant mate him sadly

What happens if the king doesn't meet your king and instead he just moves right and left

[@calmdown..]

Make waiting move with rook

[@chessscape]

you just play a waiting move with your king until you can move the rook to make the box tighter

[@plazima]

As a blind person I think you should say where they are moving to more often ❤️

[@chessscape]

the reason why i dont give the coordinates more often is because i feel most people dont know them so they get lost with them. I will definitely try my best to explain better so you can follow 🙏🏼

[@plazima]

👍 thank you

[@joshtrd]

@plazima just curious do you envision the board in your head or play via the coordinates?

Bro I literally watch this while I have 4 min left in a match. Total disrespect if that guy ever knew I did this.

[@emulatorman2441]

when doing after game- It's called Analysis but doing while game- It's called cheating

[@Yuri0808]

@@emulatorman2441 Nah It's called outsmarting someone using someone's inteligence and learning from their intelligence by copying the technique they teached which in short is called mid match learning.
