I got to talk to Yasser Seirawan on playchess.com today! Oh and by the way, there is such a thing as triple check, and much more. Here's an example of a cintuple check (more is possible with promoted pieces) : [fen]8/3b1k1q/8/5p2/8/3K1R2/5Q2/5R2 w - - 0 1[/fen]
1. Rxf5+ Bxf5+ 2. Qxf5+ Qxf5+ 3. Rxf5+
Just for you I'll put the first post of the thread here:
"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???"
Double check is defined as having the king in check two seperate ways (exposing the king to a rook check by moving a knight which also checks).
What you have there is 5 checks in a row. This isn't really very special. Two games exist where 6 checks in a row occured:

Edit: looks like Ke3 should be white...
