2Rs should win against a single R except in the most exceptional of circumstances.

Yes, or where the side with two rooks thinks it's unethical to win.

A full house beats two Rooks. Doesn't it? 😕

No, I mean the sort of position where the 2 Rooks are disconnected and the weaker king is in a "bad" position.

For example, in this position with white to move he can check the king indefinately.

R vs Q is a win for the Q but it is extremely difficult if the weaker side does not blunder but it is of course unsporting for the side with the Rook to play on hoping the guy with the Queen can't do it.

He is just wasting time making unnecessary moves.

Its against against the rules of fair play not to offer a draw if you only have 2 Rooks against a Rook, isn't it?

That's pretty cool. But wouldn't it be unethical of White to force a stalemate? 😲
