Windmill tactic

Submitted by melzerh on Mon, 10/13/2008 at 10:23am.

I plan to help people be able to make windmill tactics appear in your games. This tactic is all ready sparce in a lot of games. This tactic is hard to explain, so excuse me if I often use the board. It is when white or black checks then take showing a discovered check like this.

White wins black's material by this series taking material revieling discovered check, and black can't do anything about it. It is hard to see, but knowing it can help you in seeing. I have a topic where people talk about and make windmill tactics. Check them out to learn more I'll do my best to update once and while.

Always an entertaining tactic when discovered! I must admit that it can be a pitfall of positional players to sometimes miss these simple tactics because their mind is elsewhere........not that someone of my calibre has ever done this, lol!
