10 double checks rated between 2200 and 3500, averaging 2364. Each position below is from a real game, with the solution given underneath — so you can check yourself immediately rather than guessing whether you were right.
In a double check, two pieces give check at once. It cannot be answered by capturing the checker or blocking the line, because either only deals with one of the two — the king must move. That makes double check the single most forcing move in chess, and it is why sacrifices that end in double check often work despite the material cost.
These are pitched at 2200+-rated players. Puzzle ratings work like player ratings: a puzzle rated 2200+ is one that players around 2200+ solve about half the time, so if you are getting most of these you should move up a band.
Solving from a page is good for pattern recognition but not for tracking progress. The rated puzzle trainer serves puzzles matched to your own rating and adjusts as you solve, and the Mistake Trainer builds puzzles from positions you actually got wrong in your own games.
