Applies mate with a rook landing on the back rank.
- The back-rank mate is the most common mate. Black is a queen up, but the king is trapped behind its own pawns. Punish it.
- In your own games, after castling, remember to give your king an escape square at a good moment with a move like h3 or g3.
