How a double check works
- It starts as a discovered checkOne piece moves and gives check while uncovering a check from the piece behind it.
- Only a king move answersBlocking and capturing do not work against two checks, so the king’s squares decide everything.
- The moving piece is hard to punishIt can land on an attacked square, because only the king is allowed to reply.
