Can two pieces give check at once when neither was the piece that moved?

White to move, mate in two.

En passant mate? Would be cool to find something like it in real game 🙂

well, the Najdorf game was right next to it lol.... actually played by Gaudersen-Paul, Melbourne 1928. The game goes:
1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.e5 c5 4.c3 cxd4 5.cxd4 Bb4+ 6.Nc3 Nc6 7.Nf3 Ne7 8.Bd3 0-0 9.Bxh7+ KxB 10. Ng5+ Kg6 11.h4 Nxd4 12.Qg4 f5 13.h5+ Kh6


14.Nxe6+ g5
Kh7 followed by Qxg7# would spoil the picture

15.hxg6#

an awesome game
