I bet you could in 3-dimensional chess!
I can't quite imagine it though. Even in three-dimensional chess, lines of attack still exist (albeit randomly in three-dimensional space).
How is a knight going to move in three-dimensional chess?
It's not possible to triple check.
you cannot triple check
in regular chess, this is true. however, in other variants, such as xiangqi or duck chess, it is possible.
I bet you could in 3-dimensional chess!
How
It doesn't seem like it's possible
yeah but how would you get to that position in a real game?
ngl it be cool if you could
A triple check in chess is a rare and powerful tactical motif where a single move delivers check to the opponent's king from three different pieces simultaneously. Here's how it generally works and how you can set up or recognize a triple check:
How Triple Check Works:
Setup with a Double Check: Typically, a triple check requires a double check scenario first. A double check occurs when two pieces deliver check to the opponent’s king at the same time, usually as a result of moving a piece that uncovers a check from a different piece (often a sliding piece like a rook, bishop, or queen).
Add a Third Checking Piece: To achieve a triple check, the piece that moves must itself also deliver check. This can happen if:
A pawn is promoted to a knight (or other piece) and delivers check.
A discovered check is created, and the moving piece also gives a direct check.
A unique scenario arises where one piece moves, delivering a check by itself, while uncovering a check from two other pieces.
Example Scenario for Triple Check:
Imagine a situation on the board where:
A rook and a bishop are lined up with the opponent’s king, ready to give a discovered check.
A pawn moves forward and promotes to a knight, giving a direct check.
The promotion of the pawn also uncovers the checks from the rook and the bishop.
Here’s a sample setup:
White: King on e1, Bishop on c4, Rook on e4, Pawn on d7.
Black: King on e8.
White to move: d7-d8=N+
The move d7-d8=N promotes the pawn to a knight, delivering check.
At the same time, this move uncovers a double check from the rook on e4 and the bishop on c4.
The black king is now in a triple check from the knight on d8, the rook on e4, and the bishop on c4.
How to Use Triple Check Effectively:
Force King Moves: Since triple checks involve multiple attacking pieces, the opponent’s king usually has no choice but to move, as capturing or blocking the checks is impossible.
Create Tactical Opportunities: Use triple checks to create strong tactical threats or force winning combinations, as the opponent will be very limited in their response options.
Recognizing Potential Triple Check Setups:
Look for alignment of your pieces that could potentially deliver discovered checks.
Consider moves that could both deliver a check and unveil other checks, particularly involving promotion scenarios or pieces like rooks and bishops.
Triple checks are rare and require a specific setup, but when executed, they can be a very powerful tactic in a game of chess!
#32 please don't put gpt's production here. Neural networks don't understand chess, they merely average stuff written by humans. Due to how chess board geometry works, two different pieces giving check to a king can't be blocked by the same piece. The only way to do two discovered attacks at once is capturing en passing, but even that isn't a triple check because pawn that captures en passant will only attack squares that can't be reached by bishops/queens that were blocked by captured pawn.
No
Impossible
Remember to triple-check your work to ensure accuracy and avoid mistakes, especially for important tasks or projects. Review your work three times: first for general errors, then for specific details, and finally for consistency. This thorough process helps catch any mistakes that might have been missed during the initial checks.
Absolutely, you hit the nail on the head—there are indeed 16 checks. I can hardly express how long it took me to painstakingly count each one, going over them again and again to ensure I didn’t miss a single detail. It felt like an endless task, and I’m completely worn out from the effort!
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.
That doesn’t work. When the move was played, black was already in check, so that men’s black played an illegal move to get into that position.

That does not work.
Talk about how to triple check?
Well, you technically can.
.
1. Check your planned move before playing it,
2. Check your move again.
3. Do so a third time, to ensure that your planned move proceeds well.
.
And that's a triple check.
