Double Discovered-Check, an unusual double check
Sort:
You guys are fast! Thank you for posting those diagrams, which perfectly illustrate what I had in mind.
As far as I can tell, the double-discovered check is possible only for an en passant capture.
Anyone want to try for triple check?
Easy to show triple check is impossible in normal chess. (It's possible if you include nightriders, however.)
In at least normal chess, it is impossible to triple check.
ONLY WITH LIBERTY MUTUAL
@deathsgambit, I forget to say ... nice mate-in-one! I don't remember ever seeing one involving this unique theme.

@TurboFish
Thank you! I made the following along the same lines. Its not the toughest puzzle. Whichever side has the chance to play wins.
But if black gets a chance to play...
hi

Would pC5 for black and en passant (pC6) for white be the fabled double discovered check?
In the common type of double-check, a piece moves to deliver check, and simultaneously uncovers a straight-line piece (B, R, or Q) which delivers the second check, e.g.
The thread title Double Discovered-Check refers to a rare type of double-check in which a single move simultaneously uncovers not one, but two discovered-checks. Of course the piece that moves does not itself deliver check (otherwise we would have a triple-check, which is known to be impossible).
Anyone know the key idea behind this unique double-discovered check? I suspect many of you either already know the answer, or will use logic to quickly deduce the answer. I will post a diagram later to illustrate the answer.
