Vukovic mate

Vukovic mate is a rook mate protected by a knight. The knight defends the rook and also covers a flight square, which lets the rook stand next to the king on the edge.

It is close to the Arabian mate. The difference to look for is the knight both protecting the rook and taking away one extra square.
