Double check also be possible. For example, in the position shown, after Black plays 1...d5, White plays 2.exd6e.p. quintuple check (the "moa" is a non-leaping knight which first takes a diagonal step, then an orthogonal one). After the "en passant" capture, five pieces check the black king: both moas, the rook, the grasshopper and the bishop. In xiangqi, the Chinese version of chess, triple check and even quadruple check is possible even without using fairy pieces, as in the following examples: Double check In chess, a double check is a check delivered by two pieces simultaneously. In chess notation, it is almost
Quadruple-precision floating-point format implement nearly quadruple precision using "pairs" of double-precision values is sometimes called double-double arithmetic. Using pairs of IEEE double-precision values with 53-bit significands, double-double arithmetic can represent operations with at least a 2×53=106-bit significand (actually 107 bits except for some of the largest values, due to the limited exponent range), only slightly less precise than the 113-bit significand of IEEE binary128 quadruple precision. The range of a double-double remains essentially the same as the double-precision format because the exponent has still 11 bits, significantly lower than the 15-bit exponent of IEEE quadruple precision (a range of for double-double versus for
