++ for double check?

Check (board game) says that sometimes "++" is used for double check (instead of for checkmate). Is that correct? Bubba73 (talk), 01:27, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

I don’t think so 2001:569:FB1F:7800:7C8D:BBE6:32D3:9ECC (talk) 21:07, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
This website says

the double plus symbol ( ++ ) sometimes is used to note checkmate [more rare and archaic in older historical books it was used for double check, more commonly now seen sometimes shown as dbl. ch.], added to the end of the notation, so it was used for double check at one time. 69.164.225.215 21:35, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Change "e8=Q, e8=Q," to "e8=Q, " under [Pawn Promotion] Banaanae (talk) 04:20, 13 August 2023 (UTC)

 Done. Added e8Q to the list of possible syntax, which I think was my original intention. MaxBrowne2 (talk) 04:35, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
