Check that exposes check

White advances the bishop-pawn one space, exposing the black king to attack from the white bishop.  This is check, correct?  Even though white cannot otherwise move the bishop that is blocking the attacking black rook?

The bishop discovery is what he was talking about. Playing f5-f6 is check, yes, even though the bishop can't move.

It's amazing how many new players have problems with this.
