You have to actually have a winning position, there are some instances where the rook side can fortress.
the king must hide in the only safe square witch is c1 in then white is winning

you must also use your king to win, but avoid getting it trapped on the side of the board in certain positions or constricting the enemy king too much, which can lead to stalemate traps... just look up 'derek grimmell' on youtube & give a thumbs up when it helps out. ๐Ÿ‘

I am also struggling with king queen vs king rook mate. Everyone says you need to force the defender towards the philidor position, but how do you do that?

So, when it comes to winning with a queen against a rook, it's all about creating those fork and checkmate threats. I got your back with some juicy diagrams, puzzles, and game analysis to break it down for you.

Of course, it is a lot easier when you get to skewer the attacking pieces...

I tend to just move the queen aimlessly and hope the opponent blunders a fork.

By far the best course of action when faced with K+Q and K+R.

I think you needa move your queen to a more centralized square and get your wueen behind the defenderโ€™s king
