Because a double check by definition requires two different lanes or files to be open at once, it’s impossible to block or capture your way out of it without moving the king. This is also why double check is exceptionally deadly near corners or when the king is surrounded by pieces that limit its mobility.
Can you block to get out of check?
You cannot move, block or capture to get out of check. You lose the game. If you put the opponent in checkmate, then you win the game. It is your turn to move so you must move, but you cannot move because you cannot put your king in check.
How do you get out of a double check in chess?

There are only three ways to get out of any check: 1) block the check, 2) capture the piece delivering check, and 3) move the king out of check.
