Two Checks at Once
Part of the Core Motifs section of Coddy's Tactics & Checkmates journey. Lesson 21 of 35.
A discovered check is greedy; a double check is rude. When the front piece checks as well, two checks burn at once: no block covers two lines, and only the king could capture a checker. The king moves or nothing does, so land the front piece out of his reach, guarded or not, and take the queen next.
