Double Check FAQs

Why is a double check so powerful?

Because the king is attacked by two pieces at once, the opponent cannot block the check or capture one of the attacking pieces; they must solve both threats with one move. The only legal move is to move the king.

Does a double check always lead to mate?

Not always, but it is extremely dangerous. Because it forces the king to move, it often leads to a follow-up checkmate or the win of a significant amount of material, like the queen.
