Alekhine Defense: A Complete Guide

Nikolay Kalinichenko, Maxim Chetverik, 2018

Overview

The Alekhine Defense is a bold chess opening for Black, challenging conventional play from the start. It offers flexibility, allowing Black to pursue complex positions or adopt a more maneuvering strategy. While historically favored by players like Bobby Fischer and occasionally used by Magnus Carlsen, many lines remain less explored at the elite Grandmaster level. This leads to dynamic, often open games with opportunities for both sides. Playing 1...Nf6 signals an intent to play for a win.
