Windmill
Sort:
White wins this apparently lost position by means of a see-saw : 1. Rg4 Qxd3 2. Rxg7+ Kh8 3. Rxf7+ Kg8 4. Rg7+ Kh8 %. Rxa7+ Kg8 6. Rg7+ Kh8 7. Rd7+ Kg8 8, Rxd3. A see-saw instead of a windmill, but the same nice result !
wow, that was cool! So, there's also this technique called seesaw. :) Looks like I really got a lot to learn! Anyway, thanks for stopping by to comment and introducing to me this marvelous seesaw technique
cool
Hi, Frank, thank you for the addition of the moves !
It's like a film to see this happen...
By the way, this was the first time I managed to insert a diagram with pieces in a post on this forum, I now know how to do it, also with moving pieces ! Up to the next one !
And @ Aemillia : no, it is not that you really got to learn a lot, these two examples are absolute exceptions, once in tig years, so to say.
I think there are more such nice, unexpected situations published in books and articles, that's sometinhg for an other forum here perhaps.
And the picture of that windmill, is it Dutch ??? Bye, Ger.
