In this twelfth video of the chess fundamentals series, FM Elliott explains the three most fundamental forms of checkmating the lone king. The covered scenarios are:
Queen + King vs King: Use the queen to cut off files and ranks and move the king towards the enemy king. Push the opponent's king to one of the board corners and checkmate him.
2 Rooks + King vs King: Use the shown "Rook Roller" pattern to checkmate the opponent.
Rook + King vs King: Use the rook to push the opponent's king backwards. In order to deliver checkmate, use the own king for the attack with the opposition pattern. Once Opposition is reached deliver check with the rook.

"The lone Queen can't mate by herself" - life lesson right there

Wow, this is something I've never come across before in my previous attempts to learn chess. Granted, the last time I DID try to learn was before UA-cam etc were popular, so there was a lack of easy access to info, but this is still completely "new" (and amazingly useful) to me. Thank you for taking the time to put these videos together!

So many chess resources on youtube are entirely dedicated to grandmasters showing an audience what a beginner-intermediate chess player is doing wrong. Thank you for producing lessons for complete beginners :)

I am just now playing a correspondence game online and come to this exact situation with the exception that opponent had a rook of their own, but I was able to deliver the rook+king back rank mate nonetheless :) thanks!
