Search for windmill. Edit -> find -> windmill and it should give you the
Alekhine game.

The classic windmill comes from

You are supposed to stop a windmill eventually I think, but look:
White has played Rxg7+!
Black has to move like this and White will exploit it like this:
1. Rxg7+ Kh8
2. Rxe7+ Kg8
3. Rg7+ Kh8
4. Rxd7+ Kg8
5. Rg7+ Kh8
6. Rg6+ Rf6
7. Bxf6#
Edit: the mate only works if you remove Black's d-pawn.
That is a sort of windmill. I think it is a classic, but it is a shame I haven't been able to execute it yet!
I think I got a windmill attack in the Game 2750275 where I got a pawn, a rook and also his bishop if he didn't resign.
