Courtesy of Wiki:

Windmill


a combination in which two pieces work together to deliver an alternating series of checks and discovered checks in such a way that the opposing king is required to move on each turn. It is a potent technique since on every other move, the discovered check may allow the non-checking piece to capture an enemy piece without losing a tempo. The most famous example is Torre–Lasker, Moscow 1925. Also called a see-saw.

I see the game you're referring to. However, it's in progress, so I can't really comment. But I guess you could Google the term, since your opponent telegraphed it to you.

Edit - Nevermind, others have already beaten me tot he punch.

The years of chess playing I have done might be equal to your age.

BTW 1453>1341. 🙄

p.s. Next time you can type the keywords (windmill, chess) into google to get your answer quicker.
In case you cannot do that, I already did it for you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windmill_(chess)

I was just joking.

When I said "live and learn" I meant that he will see it when it happens in the game.

I do not think it was rude at all.

I am not going to apologize because you did not understand what I wrote.
