    I thought this was an interesting position so I thought I'd post it...

    Everything is protected and I can just go in and take the rook with my king. If his/her king tries to help I can promote my pawn.

    I am sure the game was not played well on either side, but it was funny how everything fell into place like this.

    Here is one of my games from on here in which I trap a rook under similar circumstances!

    one of mine, I know there was no "need" to corner the rook but I felt compelled to do it!!!!!
