Never seen a windmill with a knight.  Cool.

 


I think there was one in the "Game of the Century" between Byrne and a young Fischer in a simul. In any case yeah, this was more a royal fork than anything else.

What is a windmill?


it is the destruction a Knight causes when constantly checking the King by a series of 'discovered checks' (when moving the Knight places the King in check by another piece). just check the game out to see it in action.

I have one "tactical idea" I saw only once, and only in that game. Maybe not that interesting a move but still quite rare I guess. I had black, of course in a random internet game, white is some Romanian 2500+ IM (if memory serves right... yes it serves right):

 

I went on to lose the game :p but still this small thought was pleasant in itself

Almost-Infinity

An En Passant checkmate would be cool.
