The windmill is one of the most beautiful combinations in chess. Kotov provided the definition of a windmill as ‘a forcing series of attacks with discovered check.’The following famous game made this type of combination so well-known.
The attacking side exploited the power of a rookbishop battery. It is very important to learn how to coordinate these different pieces. They complement each other very well.
The windmill and other similar attacking set-ups are very dangerous and often lead not ‘only’ to a gain of material, but also directly to mate.
