Windmill tactic

I finally got to play a windmill attack for my first time ever! I read about this tactic, but was not sure I would ever get to play one in an actual game. Here's the game with a few comments (I was white)...

Game 8661204

Quite a massacre!
Missing the mate because of the windmill.Classic!
Good game 🙂

Not bad Don Quixote.

Yes, going around chasing windmills, LOL.

Thanks for the feedback.

Don't gooooooo chaaasssing windmills now,
Please stick to the mates in 4 that you are used to
I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
But I think you're moving too fast.

His game is fading and he doesn't know why
3 moves took him to his final resting place

By the way, for us small timers, could someone walk me through the mate in 4?

Thanks for the song, pijun! It's very inspired, I will paste it in my profile page 🙂

I always read the chess forum and finally have something to post! Not a great game, but I had just read and enjoyed this Windmill thread and days later got into a Windmill Variation (?) of my own. So I’m posting it here because it was fun!
