<p>You are given a <code>m x n</code> 2D array <code>board</code> representing a chessboard, where <code>board[i][j]</code> represents the <strong>value</strong> of the cell <code>(i, j)</code>.</p>

<p>Rooks in the <strong>same</strong> row or column <strong>attack</strong> each other. You need to place <em>three</em> rooks on the chessboard such that the rooks <strong>do not</strong> <strong>attack</strong> each other.</p>

<p>Return the <strong>maximum</strong> sum of the cell <strong>values</strong> on which the rooks are placed.</p>

<div class="example-block">
<p><strong>Input:</strong> <span class="example-io">board = </span>[[-3,1,1,1],[-3,1,-3,1],[-3,2,1,1]]</p>

<p><img alt="" src="https://assets.leetcode.com/uploads/2024/08/08/rooks2.png" style="width: 294px; height: 450px;" /></p>

<p>We can place the rooks in the cells <code>(0, 2)</code>, <code>(1, 3)</code>, and <code>(2, 1)</code> for a sum of <code>1 + 1 + 2 = 4</code>.</p>
</div>

<p><strong class="example">Example 2:</strong></p>

<div class="example-block">
<p><strong>Input:</strong> <span class="example-io">board = [[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9]]</span></p>

<p><strong>Output:</strong> <span class="example-io">15</span></p>

<p><strong>Explanation:</strong></p>

<p>We can place the rooks in the cells <code>(0, 0)</code>, <code>(1, 1)</code>, and <code>(2, 2)</code> for a sum of <code>1 + 5 + 9 = 15</code>.</p>

<p><strong>Output:</strong> <span class="example-io">3</span></p>

<p><strong>Explanation:</strong></p>

<p>We can place the rooks in the cells <code>(0, 2)</code>, <code>(1, 1)</code>, and <code>(2, 0)</code> for a sum of <code>1 + 1 + 1 = 3</code>.</p>
