The Windmill: A Brutal Repeated Check Pattern | Chess Tactics | Aniket Kathpal

Windmill tactic explained with real-game examples. Learn what the Windmill means in chess, how repeated checks work, and how strong players use discovered checks, queen sacrifices, knight jumps, forcing moves, and defensive resources to trap the king or win material. A Windmill happens when one piece moves with check again and again, often revealing another attacking piece behind it. In simple words, the king is forced to move back and forth while the attacking side keeps capturing pieces, winning material, giving mate, or forcing a decisive result. In this video, you will see 6 Windmill tactic positions, starting with Carlos Torre vs Emanuel Lasker from Moscow 1925, one of the most famous windmill examples in chess history.
