My first windmill!

I just made my first windmill ever, against an opponent whose rating was 400 levels above mine.

After an intensive battle, I finally lost on time, but you can see that I had a significant advantage and If I had 1 more minute to play I might have won this game.

Take a look and enjoy:


I would love to know your opinion about this game :)

First off, it is not a windmill because it is not a series of repititive check that can lead to a forced draw if the side conducting the windmill wants it.

That doesn't seem to define a windmill very well.

Windmills are a forced sequence of repetitve discovered checks that generally lead to an advantage or a better situation. The second part makes the Windmill tactic useful, but a Windmill tactic can occur without that.

Nice game, btw.
