Chess Windmill: The Ultimate Chess Strategy

Hello Everybody! @GM-NiruMalVij is here! Today, we are going to learn about the windmill tactic; a tactic that helps you gain lot of material for free. It involves the rook and the bishop in this example. Now let us start this strategy.

Before we start, I would like to give a brief introduction on the windmill:

There are some tactics that are more powerful than others. You hardly ever find a chess move more dangerous than the windmill.

The windmill in chess looks to gobble up numerous pieces of your opponents by using a series of discovered attacks that your opponent can respond to by a limited number of ways. Each time a piece is captured the discovered attack is set in motion again.

While you should always be on the lookout for tactics in your chess game, keep a special mental note for the windmill because it will change the course of any game in a hurry.

So you saw, right? How one windmill attack could change a game? Before black was winning. Now after the windmill, white is winning. I hope you understood this tactic. Thank you.
