Make a move creating a discovered check.

Proof is in the pudding - anyone who cares enough about this silly game to have such arcane knowledge must be at least a 2000 player. 😛

I don't think that a Queen move can create a double check. The defending King would have to already be in check to the Queen in order for a Queen move to "unmask" another check.

Edit: Oops - techsouth already gave this answer.

Oops, I thought it said double check.
