Well, that was only 'after' his unnecessary reaction. I would be more than happy to tell him if he said "what you mean by that?" or something else.

I did not want to answer the question in the first place because I found it rather interesting! that his opponent told him such a thing (it could have been a game in progress) and I refrained from answering directly.

I hope I am clear. However, I am not going to go into the exact details of my thought process in the future misunderstandings. 😀

Keep taking the pawns with the rook getting check, keep moving it back to g7 to keep getting check, then eventually take the g5 knight.

You need to take the rook 1st instead of the queen

do you see how things move in almost a circular way? thats why they call it a windmill... but I like to call it a roundhouse... or a kick to the face. lol, they are completely devastating, but fairly rare.

Kind of a windmill, I think about the closest I've played to it, most peopleavoid discovered checks at pretty much any cost though so you dont get the chance.Game 3634395

Out of well over 3000 games I have managed to play it twice. I have never had it happen to me.

😕 Doesn't it still work though taking the queen first?

EDIT: Never mind, now I see rook takes bishop. 😳
