Puzzle: Discover a double check in 6 plies from the starting position

1. d3 e5 2. Kd2 Qf6 3. Kc3 e4+

I won't try to find all the other solutions!

EDIT: I just realised that is not double check, the word "discover" confused me. Double check seems really hard.
Ok, I got one for real this time: 1. e4 d5 2. Ke2 a6 3. Kd3 dxe4+. I suppose nearly every legal move works instead of 2. .. a6, so that should be about half of the solutions. Not sure where the other half is hiding.
Alright, I guess that's it then! I suppose there are a few more solutions, like 1. d4 e5 2. Kd2 Qe7 3. Ke3 exd4+, and 1. d4 c5 2. Kd2 Qc7 3. Kc3 cxd4+, but apart from that we've probably seen all of them. Fun puzzle, thanks for sharing!
