'On an eight by eight Chess board, I don't believe a Rhino or a Mirror-Rhino plus a King can mate a King, but a Double-Rhino plus a King can. A Monster should be able to mate unaided.'

I'm pretty sure an ordinary Rhino can, like so:

 d   e   f   g   h
---+---+---+---+---+
   |   |   |   | k | 8
---+---+---+---+---+
   | R |   |   |   | 7
---+---+---+---+---+
   |   |   |   | K | 6
---+---+---+---+---+
   |   |   |   |   | 5

Correct me if I'm wrong.
