If one piece attacks multiple enemy pieces simultaneously, this is called a fork.
All prongs of a fork would be handled by capturing the forking piece.
If one move causes two attacks on the same enemy piece, one a discovered attack and the second an attack by the discovering piece, this is called a double attack, or a double check when the piece under attack is the enemy king.
Both prongs of a double attack would be handled by moving the piece under attack.
