What are you talking about?
Double checkmate

Sure, if you are blocking the king from check with one piece blocking another, say a knight and a queen. Move the knight out of the way of the queen, and you will check (possibly mate) the king with both the knight and the queen.

Basically when you capture a king with two pieces at the same time.

No way!!! Only GMs are capable of doing that.
lol i guess that makes me a grand-master then. I've did it with one guy and he couldn't move his king at any space around him or he would be checked.

:) That's cool. It's called a dicovered check(mate in this case). It's thing of beauty for sure.
It is illegal to move two pieces at the same time. (Except for castling, but you are not allowed to capture with that.) And moving two pieces to the same square would really make a mess...

That's not how i did double checkmate. I pushed my opponent's king to the end of the board, surrounding him piece by piece. Unfortunately, his pieces were also blockading his path which limited his space and helped me do this. After that, i only moved one piece allowing both attacking pieces to checkmate his king at once.
My last checkmate - a 16 way mate !!!
lol no way! I'd like to see the whole match!

Woah!!!!! I can't believe it!!!! how did u do that????

This was my double check checkmate from today. Relatively new to chess so I was a bit confused at first but it worked out so was doing some research and found this thread so ya

I've landed double checkmates on opponents before. How hard is it to do and how can it be done?
