Stun lock / Cylce of hurting: the windmill

3
Useless Knowledge (talkcontribs)

I just wanted to add this trope, only to notice it seemingly doesn't exist yet on All The Tropes... or am I too stupid to search properly?

The discovered check windmill is definitely such a situation, as you can do nothing but move your king back and forth while more and more of your material disappears... very frustrating when you fall victim to that. And usually an easy win for your opponent.

I think I typed it correctly when I searched it

Hi! Welcome to All The Tropes! You're clearly a TV Tropes user; have you read our So You're a TV Tropes Refugee page yet?

If you can't find a trope, it's pretty likely that's because it's not there to be found. Our content began to diverge from TVT's with the fork almost ten years ago. We don't have the user base that TVT does to generate new trope pages, and due to the complex copyright situation at TVT copying content from them is illegal on several levels (see our Copyrights FAQ for the details), nor do we seek to slavishly copy TVT. You should therefore not expect any trope from TVT that is newer than eight years old to automatically be here.

If you want to propose a trope that TVT has, you will either need to be the author of the trope there, or rewrite it entirely to be completely original. Our counterpart to YKTTW is the Trope Workshop, which can be reached by a link found under "Troping Utilities" in the menu in the left margin of every page. If you're going to propose a trope, I suggest you read our page All The Tropes:Trope Workshop Guidelines -- we do things a bit differently from TVT, and if you know what we're expecting, it'll make things go faster.

Again, welcome, and thanks for wanting to help expand and improve the wiki!
