  (Asked by: username_0 on 2019-04-28)
  
  Promotion is common in many games, and is sometimes comes with check. But something I have never seen in a game is a promotion that comes with double check like this example illustrates.
  [FEN "8/3QPk2/8/8/8/8/8/8 w - - 0 1"]
  
  1. e8=Q++
  
  Has this ever occurred in a professional game? If so, has it happened for each type of promotion? An example that comes with checkmate  would nice as well, but it has probably never happened.
