Final Position
A very hard pattern to master. This checkmate is not likely to happen that much because
the pattern with the Knight and Rook are hard to setup and execute. It is much easier to
just use the King and the Rook for an easier checkmate.

When checkmating with your Rook and Knight you must use a pattern that can be
difficult to master. The time it takes to get the perfect position and have it all executed
correctly is long and can be broken with one wrong move. Most people would just use
the King and Rook to deliver the checkmate in most cases, but this checkmate does
happen during a game. Keep your eyes open while playing you just might get it. I like to
use this checkmate against a Kings Castled position.
