Insane Chess King (Posted on 2004-11-16) Difficulty: 3 of 5
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?

That's a nice proof for the three rooks case, but doesn't work for two rooks -- it just shows that this specific strategy (going from b2 to g7) wouldn't work for White.
