As you all know windmill is one of the most beautiful combinations in chess. Today I will show you some excellent windmill tactics. Kotov provided the definition of a windmill as "a forcing series of attacks with discovered check."

These windmill set up fireworks on the board.


 
The attacking side exploited the power of Rook-Bishop battery. Here's another example. Brilliant master piece from Smyslov! Try to solve it yourself.
 
 
Now, this windmill is really hard one to find. 
 
 
Another one. 
 
After you solve all the puzzles, please have a look on the annotations. 
Windmills are the important tactics, so study them carefully.
