Windmill

I have a game going with The Penguin, # 257959. As of this writing it is still in progress. At move 23 begins a series of checks on the opponents king between rook and bishop which I believe is called The Windmill in chess circles.The opponent cannot escape check, and an entire 7th rank of pieces and pawns can be wiped out by this.Would not want to wind up on the recieving end of this very often.

Awesome bobla!Didn't know that was called 'The windmill'.Live and learn,eh 😵

I've seen that in books but never had a chance to do it for real. Very nice! Nothing like scarfing up the whole 7th rank like that! 😀

Should be called the vacuum-cleaner or something 🙄😀
