What is a Killer Rook? A Killer Rook is when your king is in a stalemate position and you have a rook left. What you wish is that you did not have the rook so that it would be a stalemate, not a loss. You need to check your opponent's King with the rook. get as close as possible; if they take, it would be a stalemate. Here is a game with a Killer Rook;
This game was the London vs the King's Indian Attack. I was losing from the opening. This starts in the endgame so if you want to, you can go to move 48 and see the brilliant move. There were two missed wins that I might have won the game with on moves 54 and 60. I could have played Kg2 with a pawn getting ready to promote and the rook can block any check. But I was caught in the moment and wanted to get a draw with this fantastic tactic. I find this making me feel a lot better than a win, and also............... This is not a blog on how to get the Killer Rook Achievement. (get checkmate with a rook.) Fixed it. Have a nice rest of your day everyone!
