Insane Chess King (Posted on 2004-11-16)

There are two black rooks on the chessboard and a white chess king that tries to violate the chess rules, that is tries to move into a position which it would be in check. Can the king force itself into check or can the two rooks avoid check indefinitely?

What if there are three rooks?

The king can always force check with three rooks, but two rooks can avoid the king indefinitely.
Hugo solves the three rook part here and the two rook part here.
