What Is 3 Check Chess
A popular variant, 3 Check is very similar to conventional chess with only one additional rule. In it, you can also win a game by checking your opponent's king three times in addition to the regular rules for winning a match.

 Notice the check counter on the left side of the board. Black delivered three checks and won the game.
In the image above, you can see that the white king still has a few escape squares, but since this check is the third delivered by Black, the game ended, and White was defeated.

Here is a video of our own IM Daniel Rensch playing a 3 Check match against GM Maxime Vachier-Lagrave. Again, notice in both games that Danny loses not because he would be checkmated, but because MVL manages to create unavoidable check threats.
