Find a legal triple check with any three units.

i saw some talk about "proper illegal moves"

imo, just teleport any piece anywhere at any point in the game (no captures allowed, though!)

Avatar of MARattigan

Indeed, why restrict it to a single piece - teleport as many as you like and call it an illegal castle. What's wrong with captures?

Here's a legal move that produces two regular checks and one x-ray check. You could call that a triple check, but you might not be taken seriously.

What is the greatest amount of checks that can be legally done in a single move in any chess variant (fairy chess, etc.)? For example, in the atomic chess variant, a quadruple check is possible.

Is this a double check or a septuple check?

well only one bishop is actually checking the king

But if that bishop were to be removed, it would still be check

Here's another interesting question. Is that considered as 1 x-ray check, 5 x-ray checks, or 16 x-ray checks?

In atomic you can octuple check

Considering the great penetrating power some x-ray sources have, I would call it five x-ray checks. But I would put a white king on the board to make it a legal position.

To make your return memorable, you could post an illegal position that seems to be legal.

It's possible to go even further than that! If either side were able to have infinite material, a quindecuple check is possible; since neither side can promote that many pieces, the maximum legal check is an undecuple check. The maximum degree of discovered check or checkmate is a quadruple discovered check/checkmate.

Avatar of bald55

Oh no I just realized in atomic a sexdecuple (16) check is possible

It is legal for the king to go to e4
