Yes.

Black has a piece on g8, white has a pawn on h7 that captures on g8 and promotes to a rook.

Found the game from your archive, in which you had 8 seconds left.

That was a missed opportunity! Try again and look out for more of such opportunities.

(I never even managed to get to such a position before, but you have showed that you are capable of it)

At such times I wish I was a contortionist, so I could kick myself hard in the back. shock

Yes 8 seconds... the flag was breathing down my neck.

And when the dust settled I felt cheated! Although I won, I felt I had lost. I make puzzles, and this motif had never crossed my mind, yet it appeared in a real game. Life is mysterious. What can I say. meh I lost a sweet chance of playing a super-move. cry

both rooks are delivering check . Although in the case of his diagram that is a Triple checkmate due to the battery of queen and rook .

It is even more aesthetical if both rooks are under attack

Ah, ok- It's a (double check)-mate as opposed to a double (check-mate).
