The Arabian checkmate
It's Larry back again. Sorry for the wait. This one is all about the Arabian checkmate. (Part of the MATE sires)(Short notice: right click the links and press "Open in new tab")
The Arabian mate is a checkmate with a rook and a knight. Here is a example.

After Rh7, the knight protects the rook that attacks the king. The rook guards g7 and the knight on g8 prevents the king from escaping. Thus, checkmate. Another example:

Similar to the last example, but this is the classical Arabian mate.
I will make another blog on this in winter break. If you want to do some research on your own, here's a link. https://chessfox.com/arabian-mate/
