What the "++" means?

You don't say.
++ last sympol of mate
+- white gonna to win in little coming moves
-+ black ............................................
+and beneath it - means white has advantage and vice versa !
# is convention for mate.
If ++ were used for anything it would be mate, however I've rarely seen it used in place of #
I'm not aware of there being any mark for double check, if there is it wouldn't be ++ :)

Confusion would count as harm.

@vibhav_king: As given earlier, Chess.com's employment of symbols is technically correct. When double-check arises in-game, it is notated with the single plus symbol and not the double. The use of two plus symbols is unnecessary. The distinction between check and double-check is trivial, merely a curiosity. It does not alter the rules or play of the game, other than the subtle difference that a double-check must be resolved by somehow moving the King (which then may or may not capture one of the checking units).
according to page 218 of the US Chess Federation's Official Rules of Chess 5th Edition http://www.uscfsales.com/product_p/b0012rh.htm
the "++" means checkmate.
Nah, those were what I mean.
huh?
um, there was discussion going as to whether "++" meant double check or checkmate. I just thought I'd see what the official rule book for the USCF says about it and post that." btw, the USCF is the governing body of chess in American and they are affiliated with FIDE, the governing body of chess around the world.
No distinction is given if someone creates a discovered attack that causes more than one piece to be the one that delivers the checkmate? I thought maybe they used to try to show that or something.
