While delivering checkmate the player attacks the back rank of the opponent i.e. the king is checked along with his bank rank. This is done by either the queen or the rook.

Also known as the seesaw, this tactic is a combined attack of discovered checks and regular checks. It takes place when one player gets the advantage to deliver multiple checks in sequence. The windmill move features winning a lot of opponents material.
In square vacation, the first piece is moved to give space to another piece to go to the specific square. It is the sequence of moves that results in tangible gain.
