'''[[Main Page|Home]] * [[Chess]] * [[Check]] * Discovered Check'''
A '''Discovered Check''' is a [[X-ray]] related chess [[Tactics|tactic]], revealed when one piece moves out of the way of a [[Sliding Pieces|sliding piece]] [[Rays|ray]], discovering an [[Check|attack]] to the opponent [[King|king]]. Discovered checks can be extremely powerful, as the piece moved can make a threat independently of the check giving piece it reveals, including the [[Double Check|double check]]. Pieces potentially able to discover a check can be determined almost with the same method along with a union set of [[Pin|pinned pieces]], which might be separated by piece color later.
