Stack two Rooks one behind another in the same file with the Queen at the rear
Note: This, among with other achievements, cannot be done on Local (forgot to put this in my solutions)
Easy to do this with a friend or vs AI on easy.
Focus on moving both Pawns in front of the Rooks forward 2 spaces, then the rooks themselves. If your Rooks start getting captured (if you're facing AI), just play the game out a bit more until you can promote Pawns to Rooks (which is what I had to do)
Achievement will pop when the two Rooks are in front of the Queen vertically, position on the board does not matter

I guess this doesn't work while playing a local game with one controller. Or I'm doing it wrong...

Something else to note is the achievement didn't pop for me until the game was finished in checkmate by either player. I was playing a Novice AI

I found this achievement a bit annoying to go for, due to the limitations of rooks.... and my tendency to play without a Queen.
This is easiest done when you've moved your King, Bishops, and Knights out of the back row. How I did it was by moving one Rook to the center, then forward. Followed by the second Rook, then the Queen. I wasted a number of turns setting this up and lost the game.
This can be easily cheesed by playing the easiet A.I. and then quitting out of the game to not lose ELO rating points if you're worried about such a thing and just want this achievement.
