Hi there.

00:02.370 --> 00:10.080
In this election, I want to introduce you to the so-called double check double check, we can have

00:10.080 --> 00:11.100
a double check with this.

00:11.310 --> 00:15.740
So it's actually two tracking pieces, checking the king.

00:16.740 --> 00:24.060
So actually, the opponent hasn't got the option of taking out both checking pieces at once.

00:24.960 --> 00:33.330
It looks as though, you know, both checking pieces are in very able to be captured by here because

00:33.330 --> 00:34.200
it's double check.

00:34.200 --> 00:36.690
And this is this holds true for all double checks.

00:37.290 --> 00:41.880
The king and a double check situation has to move.

00:42.750 --> 00:51.600
For example, here is the only legal move in this situation, the only legal move.

00:52.170 --> 00:58.380
So that makes double checks rather powerful, sometimes very, very powerful.

00:59.250 --> 01:06.180
Some very, very beautiful chess tactics are resulting from double checks, forcing the opponent king

01:07.230 --> 01:07.890
to move.

01:08.850 --> 01:12.180
And also, there's no chance of obstruction either.

01:13.740 --> 01:15.910
The king just simply has to make a run for it.

01:16.620 --> 01:18.360
So just remember the power of the double check.

01:18.360 --> 01:22.170
The king has to make a run for it if you double check the opponent's king.

01:24.090 --> 01:26.010
OK, thanks so much.
