My first time mating with king and rook.
en.lichess.org/IjhlfrkL/black#150
Playing Black I decided to play a drawish type game.
I wanted to bring him into an endgame because he was a lower rated player. I had a few ways to win queening waiting for his pawn to queen then taking his queen keeping 2 rooks and possibly promoting my pawn to queen and trading off his last rook. Instead I decided to give him a draw ending with King rook VS King and Rook. I declined his draw and set a trap stealing his rook and mating him.
