What is a "cross-check"?
In chess, a cross-check occurs when a player responds to an opponent's check by delivering a check of their own, often using a piece that blocks the original check or reveals a discovered check. This tactic can be particularly effective in endgames where it forces the opponent to deal with the new check, potentially disrupting their plans and leading to a favorable outcome for the player delivering the cross-check.
