Note: The queen may intersect with the paths multiple times but that just means you can't put a king there so it still holds up
How to triple check
Sort:
Ok my explanation made no sense
What happened is that a spambot (bajiaqsa0) "wrote" a lengthy post that makes absolutely no sense. Most likely it was written by ChatGPT about double check, and then the spambot changed every "double" to "triple". Then XPGK99 doubled down on the nonsense talking about "a really weird setup" and "underpromote most likely". When in reality it's completely impossible, weird setup or not.

Damn bro chill I thought maybe a setup like this would work where you underpromote to a night but it obviously didn't.
It should be so simple.

Ye ik I'm just annoyed that this same oldhead is attacking me on every post because on one chess post he didn't understand a chess meme.
Nobody is attacking you, it's you who repeatedly make a fool of yourself because you speak without thinking.

Dude, you've followed me on to three different forums just so you can be the nerd emoji irl.
I'm following no one. I'm just reading the forums, and you happen to speak nonsense in a few of them.
In chess, achieving a "triple check" is a rare and dramatic tactic where a single move delivers three simultaneous checks to the opponent's king. Here’s how it works and how you can attempt it in a game:
Key Conditions for a Triple Check
Pieces Involved: At least two pieces (not pawns) and potentially one discovered check by a piece or the queen.
Discovered Check: The move must uncover checks by at least two other pieces.
Steps to Execute or Look for Triple Check
Set up for a Discovered Check:
Position your pieces so moving one will uncover checks from at least two others.
This might involve a combination of a rook, bishop, or queen.
Move the Third Piece to Check:
While uncovering the discovered checks, the piece you move also gives check.
King's Limited Options:
In a triple check, the opponent's king is forced to move since no single block or capture can address three simultaneous checks. https://hitvapps.com/hitv-for-pc/
Example Position
Here’s a classic setup for a triple check:
A bishop is on a diagonal targeting the opponent's king.
A rook is on the same rank or file as the king.
A knight moves to check the king while simultaneously uncovering the rook's and bishop's checks.
Practical Tips to Use Triple Check
Tactical Vision: Look for discovered check opportunities involving multiple attacking pieces.
Opponent’s Piece Placement: Triple checks are more likely when the opponent's king is exposed.
Sacrifices to Set Up: Be willing to sacrifice pieces to open lines or diagonals.
Why Triple Check is Powerful
Forces King Movement: A triple check can't be parried except by moving the king.
Leads to Mating Attacks: Often sets up for checkmate in the next move or two.

I'm not even bothering to put it in the detector, I'm just posting the image of a previous one. 
BRO EVEN LEFT IN THE AI REACHING THE CHARACTER LIMIT
Ok, another better proof. For a triple check to occur, there must first be two pieces that have at least one line of sight to the king that meet with eachother once and then meet with eachother again on the king square. It must be the same line of check for both meetings. This requires a straight line to go through another straight line twice because all pieces move in a straight line (even knights and kings! knights move from one center of a square to the next at a 22.5 degree angle, and kings move 1 square at 90 and 45 degree angles), at no angle is this possible. Therefore, triple checks are impossible.
Triple check?

If you consider discovered checks by pieces creating a battery multiple checks it would be possible but that's the closest you can get. Following this logic you could have 6 checks but again only if you consider batteries to be multiple checks. ex:

I don't consider them so,
each rook blocks the one behind it

In xiangqi, the knight's movement is restricted by a piece placed in front of it in the direction that it wants to move to. If that was the case in chess, a triple check would be possible if e8=N+++ was played in the following position.
This is impossible in this position because before the promotion, the black king is already in check.
Did you not read what he wrote? He was talking about xiangqi rules, where the knight would not check the king because the pawn was in the way.
In shangxi. Pawns cannot promote
also there are no queens in xiangqi
For a triple check, you would need to have two pieces blocked by one piece that would move to create a third check. Let's look at B+R because it's the only setup that could possibly enable this
The pawn is placed on the one square that the paths meet, but the paths never meet again, so only just the rook or just the bishop will check the king (the pawn/knight may also check the king but that's just a double-check.
Here's the others for good measure
