The ABC of Alekhine's Defense
Alekhine‘s
Defense is an excellent opening to play if one wants to go for the win.
Black invariably gets a tough and resilient position with ample
opportunity for counterchances. With 1...Nf6 he immediately throws down
the gauntlet to the pawn on e4 and tries to take the initiative from
the very first moves. This is a particularly effective game-plan at
club level, where knowledge of exact theory is sketchy and where a
passive response to immediate aggression is commonplace. In the ABC of
the Alekhine we take a look at how the opening stands in 2007. IM
Andrew Martin provides sound, active recommendations for Black, which
can be used at all levels of play and demonstrates that the Alekhine is
actually in pretty good shape. To underestimate Alekhine‘s Defence
would be a big mistake indeed! Video running time: 5 h 40 min

Alekhine Defense Playbook
After 1.e4 Nf6 Black is playing full
contact “provocateur” chess. He develops a piece and attacks the White
center pawn, drawing it forward to be targeted for siege. At first
White gets to drive around the pesky Black Knight while gaining time
and space - but is it hollow space behind a rickety pawn front, or a
positional vice-grip? Grandmasters disagree, and for the rest of us to
trot out Alekhine’s Defense has been like playing football without a
helmet until now!
Here at last Tim Sawyer introduces his precision game plan in The Alekhine Defense Playbook,
a compact repertoire of pre-packaged Black mischief and mayhem. From
the very first move there’s no getting away from the Playbook, as White
faces a clear-cut program of counterplay no matter what he does. Loaded
with original analysis and plenty of common sense advice, the Playbook
is your complete pocket guide to the hypermodern Alekhine Defense.
