The ultimate goal in chess is to checkmate the opponent’s king. In case the opponent has only the lone king left on the board, there are four fundamental checkmates that can be applied to force a checkmate with a minimal amount of material.
The four possible mating cases involve:
#1 - King & Queen vs King
#2 - King & Rook vs King
#3 - King & 2 Bishops vs King
#4 - King, Bishop & Knight vs King
In this video, IM Alex Astaneh, is going to show you the second fundamental checkmate which involves the king and rook against the lone king.
If you didn`t watched the video on the first fundamental checkmate with king and queen vs king, here is the link to it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4R3gF6pylc
The idea of the checkmate with a king and rook against the lone king is very similar to the outer checkmate. You have to force the lone king to any corner of the board and deliver checkmate with the rook along a file or rank. This fundamental checkmate can be achieved with maximum 16 moves.
