Double check

Check from two pieces at once. Only a king move can answer it.

Example

The bishop is in front of the rook on the e-file.

  1. 1. Bb5+: Check from the bishop AND the rook. The queen could take the bishop, but that only stops one check.
  2. 1... Kf7: So the king has to move, and White is ready for the next blow.
