I know there are moves that can put your opponent into a double check; I have done them on several occasions. Is there a move that could put someone into a triple check situation???

There is such a thing as triple (absolute) pins though. Here's an interesting position, blacks pinning piece is pinned and the piece thats pinning the pinning piece is pinned. I think the game is interestingly enough, drawn:

aren't all double checks discovered?
After black plays g7-g5 to block the B's check, now pxp e.p. discovers a double check.
The board is not the actual game. I just reconstructed the situation.
