Coffee for Dessert

Double check means you must move the king — the king is overwhelmed—the king cannot get help—no other piece can step in the way; attackers cannot be captured—the king is in a panic—forced to move—if any space exists—or if not—the king is dead—checkmate!

Use this quick game with the modern defense as a useful teaching example!
