Mating the King with Rook + Knight

NCM Vas Sladek- Tiger S, ICC

This game was a bit comical. Black tried to mate the White King but he escaped with g4. Then the tables turned and White constructed his own mating net. This time there was no escape.

So remember, Rooks and Knights can work together to mate the King.
