And of course, also there's the en passant option:
White queens a2 and a4, White pawn a5,  Black king a6, Black pawn b7.
White checks with either of his queens Qc4+
Black interposes b7-b5
White takes a6xb5 ep, giving discovered checks with both queens.

Not likely in practice, but a great favourite in retrograde analysis, etc.
