Wow! That's forking and then really twisting the knife - if you'll forgive the mixed metaphor.

No, a windmill is a series of regular and discovered checks, usually by a Bishop and Rook.

I was thinking moves 29 and 30. Either way it was massive destruction.

30. Kf2 would have avoided the next fork.



Here's a pretty good example of a windmill.
