Exploring the Alekhine’s Defence played by black in countering the king’s pawn opening, one of the most common openings used by white in online and over-the-board play.

dude you are just a retard,so don`t think too much!
hahahahah that shiit funny. that means hes not that intelligent. lols.. thats sad.
i am sure you have much more experiance than me but genraly when someone find their pawn attacked i have noticed that they usualy back uit up with more pawns.
Since it is a game for intelligent people I understand why you find it tiring.
CHESS IS NOT A SPORT IM FUCKING TIRED OF CHESS assholes talking about how winded they get after a chess match. They are losers along with the others who think chess is a sport.
Yeah you are a great
but I only want to see chess no talking but alright
Thank you. I certainly enjoyed it.
On move 4 instead of nxd4 I usually chose to take with the queen, I don’t like to study all the theory and make it a game where who knows more theory has the advantage.
P.S: It has been working just fine so far as white.
white misses a move
you take you black knight back to d5
yh true
What happens if white moves the pawn to c5 after black moves the knight to b6? I am curious because it seems like a logical decision
kind of general , begginers need to understand the ideas behind a specific opening, you need to discuss spacial differences fir each side, which helps a novice at least know what part of the board they should focus there attention, you mention nothing of pawn structure, or weak squares, this is how an opening should be assesd. if your not a good counter atacker i wouldnt try the alekhines, as the whole idea is for black to let white build a big centre and hope he overreaches.
d6-d5 by black was a mess. Qd8-d7 and h7-h6 would be a better move.
The main reason is because white could play Ne2-F4 and later Nf4-h5 instead of b3-b4. White lost his chance to stay with 1 pawn more, could get advantage on black mistake.
I tested my analyse on Rybka 3 and it agreed with me.
*move 8 ne2 bg7
move 9* qd2 be6
my bad
i was wondering what you guys think about this variation of the sicilian
e4 c5
nf3 d6
d4 cxd4
nxd4 nf6
nc3 nc6
bc4 g6
be3 e5
ne2 be6
its a mix of the dragon and the opocensky the idea is to liberate the f file by exchanging bishops and allowing a better defense against the yugoslav attack, black can also castle queen side and has a much more flexible position.
what is move 13 for white. You jumped from the black bishop moving to (bg6) on move 12 to black’s move on 13; bxd3. What if white decides to take the bishop on g6 and exchange. Wouldn’t that weaken the Alekhine?
couldnt white just avoid the extension of his/her pawns by using the knight on b to protect the pawn?
Good
Blk rook could have moved to b8 with protection of the knight on c6 to make the queen retreat. Nobody plays these book lines to the depth shown here. Fischer played it differently and most likely better than book!
if we simulate a game we have to ASSUME moves, thats basic stuff
everyone knows the real deal is always unpredictable
I responded to Adam177man :p
I would expect more “action” after blacks first knight moves. it has not much difference to many Indian defences messed up by black.. but its nice to see how to get a decent activity though the position looks cramped. but if someone really has “learned” how to handle this difficult situation, hat off. its quite impressive.
“Queen d8xe2″ is the funniest thing I heard today.
well if after h3 the black Bishop takes on e2 white can simply recapture with the bishop on d3 opening the line for the queen to protect the d pawn.
I dont see much advantage for both sides.. maybe black causing a backward pawn at e3 playing knight to f5 and trading it with the protecting bishop on e3 which looks weaker though… its pretty tough to play against booklines. I dont suggest it to anybody ;/
Totally agree lpjuunin – it’s very helpful to understand common replies in opening lines, along with other forms of chess study. Thanks for checking out the vid and commenting!
Not true. Jrobi is simply informing us about book moves (‘common reactions to said variations’). While you are right in saying your opponent is not going to go 100% by the book, it helps to learn main lines and variations.
For example in the Sicilian Najdorf line, Black goes 4… Nf6, attacking the e4 pawn. From here, Black can do numerious things to protect it, but the most common (and the most EFFICIENT) reply is 5 Nc3. It helps to know common reactions and replies in the long run.
