Double Attack

Two attacks made with one move: these attacks may be made by the same piece (in which case it is a fork); or by different pieces, for example in a discovered attack when the moved piece also makes a threat.


An attack on two (or more) pieces by a single move


The launch of two threats simultaneously. It is different from a fork in that either or both threats need not be a capture.
