Arabian mate

Arabian mate is a corner mate by a rook and a knight. The rook checks the king along the edge, and the knight protects the rook while covering the flight squares the rook does not.

The king is usually in the corner. If your knight attacks the square next to the king, look for a rook check on the edge.
