    A back-rank checkmate is a chess tactic where a rook or queen delivers checkmate to a king along its own back rank, the first rank for white and the eighth rank for black. It occurs when the king is blocked by its own pawns from moving inward away from the back rank, leaving it vulnerable to attack from an opposing rook or queen along that back rank, resulting in checkmate. The document provides an example of a back-rank checkmate where a white rook moves to the eighth rank to checkmate the black king, who has no escape with its movement blocked by pawns. It also includes links for puzzles and practice related to back-rank checkmates.
