In today's post, we're shining the spotlight on one such advanced tactic - the Windmill. The Windmill is a powerful chess tactic, and understanding it can significantly improve your chess gameplay and take you a step closer to achieving chess mastery.

Understanding the Windmill

The Windmill is a series of checks and attacks that can lead to substantial material gain or even checkmate. This tactic is named for its resemblance to the revolving blades of a windmill - the pieces involved in the Windmill take turns to strike, much like the blades of a windmill rotating.

Let's take a famous example of the Windmill tactic from a game played by former World Chess Champion Garry Kasparov. In this game, Kasparov masterfully uses the Windmill tactic to decimate his opponent's position. (Include link to the game or an image of the position)
