In the name of fun, the player with two rooks should sacrifice one of them.

For the other players rook.

The side with 1 Rook should then make 50 pointless moves chasing the King about the board and then complain that the player with no Rooks who used to have 2 Rooks has not yet resigned.

Well he did just chase a loophole. He should have been playing chess the right way by resigning!

No, I mean the sort of position where the 2 Rooks are disconnected and the weaker king is in a "bad" position.

For example, in this position with white to move he can check the king indefinately.

the thread asks if it's likely to happen, it's unlikely that that position would arise (if it does, then white should be hit in the head by a 2x4...or given an endgame book...)
