Alekhine Defense: How to Play as White and Black
Alekhine’s Defense Fundamentals
We enter Alekhine’s Defense after the opening moves 1.e4 Nf6.
There is no advantage for White in avoiding 2.e5. Of all the main alternatives 2.Nc3 is White’s best choice with a possible transposition to the Vienna Game after 2…e5 or the Alekhine’s Defense Scandinavian Variation after 2…d5.
