a normal opponent would resign on the spot

[julianbilaniuk]

the square rule is so much easier and quicker lmao. this works too but you should be carefule of the 50 move rule

[shivamadhau]

don't know why but I actually feel like I defeated a player like you who was wearing rabbit hat

[ankursadhukhan]

It's hard to checkmate when opponent king doesn't go to the corner

All fun in games until the “50 move” rule comes in to play

[Luciddreaming]

I can just see Hikaru premoving all of that

Nothing beats the persistence of a player allowing you to promote all remaining pawns 😂

I still remember when i spend 5 minute in 10 minute game just to find out how to check with only rook and king

[ethzzexists]

For some reason loads of people in my school just randomly started playing chess whenever we get time on computers, idk why nobody in my class enjoys it we just naturally want to see who's better at chess

If you are going to use this method you should not be going for opposition, you should be trying to stay a knights move away so the king is forced to the edge of the board or be forced to be checked by the rook and forced back again. If you try to do what you just did in the short, the black king can just move back and forth in the middle and white has to do something else to make progress

If I used this "trick" I would probably get asleep before my opponent

Box method in the corner:am I a joke to you💀

Can we just appreciate how smooth this transitional loop is? 🔥💯🤝🏽

I thought checkmate with a rook isn't possible untill someone checkmated me.

You want to get your king a knight move away from his king on the side of your rook. Follow the king to the edge then force it back until mate.
If he moves his king into this position, make a waiting move with your rook.
If he moves his king into this position but he is on the side of your rook, slide it over to the other side of the board

This is the slow way, you can do it much more easily by forcing your opponent into a corner

Me with 10 seconds left on the clock: *resigns*

[TopG]

Bro made it way longer than a normal one

[lilisecretworld]

It's not the "easiest" way... The easiest way is the box method

I lost several games before I learn this.
