Doesn't a windmill consist of alternating normal and discovered checks?
Thought this 3-check windmill was cute
Sort:
3-check doesn't have standard chess tactics like "windmill" because perpetual check leads to a win not a draw. Not to be confused with perpetual check, which is very strongly associated with drawing from standard chess, I chose "windmill" here as the tactical name because rather than pick off material one by one (which uses discovered attacks to eat the material), it picks off checks one by one (which don't need to be discovered in order to be useful).
This pattern essentially allows an infinite windmill of checks. How interesting.
