This guy did the Alekhine's Defense, Mokele Mbembe against me (1. e4 Nf6 2. e5 Ne4) so I was like what's up holmes 3. d3 Nc5 4. d4 Na4 5. c4 Nc6 6. b3 Nb6 7. a3 both his knights got stuck 7...d6 8. h3 dxe5 9.

Ne4 Qg6 he wanted a queen trade but I checked his king and did a discovered attack on his queen (17. Nf6+ Ke7 18. Bxg6) and he quit ay.

@zunz1234 that's a terrible move because white will move queen away then if black trades he will give up any chance at winning pieces of making a checkmate.

Correct response from white at move 3 would be 3. Nf3... instead of playing the immediate 3. c4... if 3. Nf3... is played through correct play black wont last as long as opposed to 3. c4... being played.
Cool opening but Its all lost if white doesn't do what was protected. Actually, The white's pawn won't even move to E5 because it's protected by the queen...you can sacrifice your knight for a pawn if you want to...that's why Pawn to E4 is the safest opener.

Captain Dipshit doesn't mention that he is going through one side variation and that most players of the white pieces don't exchange the e-pawn for black's d-pawn so early. Much more common is pawn to f4 for white after pawn to d6 for black.
1.e4 Nf6 2.e5 Nd5 3. c4 Nb6 4.c5 Nd5 5.Nc3 e6 6.d4 d6. The Game from here looks a little ballanced, but has a slight advantage to white in terms of piece potential. After 7.cxd6 cxd6 8.Nf3 Nc6 both sides have good development but white's King safety is a little diminished.
from the moment black castling. u have 4 move to checkmate. by simply move the pawn b-2 to b-3, bishop d-3 to b-1, queen h-1 to c-2, and h-7. black have to defend over king side. all of them lock on queen side. just saying, i`m still new, :-)
But what happens when White puts his Bishopp to e3 and his Knight to d2 followed by Nf3 and Qd2 ? Then Black has many problems to solve - Bronstein, I guess, proposed to play like this.
@koekjeeee because it allows ne5 wich is very good for black , f4 kicking the n out is answered by nxb white the pair of bishops and white's castled position is weakend , moreover whites central pawns are not an asset as they cant advance.
@koekjeeee because white has to maintain a strong center position, with d5 the c5 and e5 squares would become weak, furthermore black could easily capture the d4 square with its knight and defend it with pawns. so white has to defend the d4 square
@koekjeeee Just because with Ne5 would centralize more the black knight,attacking both the d3 bishop (that has the diagonal b1-h7 as the pawn in c4, and it can retreat to Ng6 if neccessary. Also the pawn in d5 can be attacked. So as there is no need or hurry to move to d5, usually this type of moves are better left for when the plans are more developed. The immediate d4-d5 should not lose, but certainly is not doing any special for winning. A concept here is "to mantain the tension"
i am not so sure but that knight will immediately attack c4 which is guarded by one bishop against 2 black knights if you line up all your white pawns on white squares starting from d5 e4 b3 a2 black bishop may attack your rook. and definitely compromises the a, b, c side of your board but again i am not a chess expert but i think you want to clump your pieces very carefully and want to have one focal point of attack.
@koekjeeee because if white plays pawn d5, black can play knight to e5, which attacks white's bishop, and is a great outpost positionally for his knight. By playing pawn d5, white is handing is control over the centre to black's knight.
If a pawn reaches the end of the board. It can be replaced with any of the opponents dead players. But when replaced, it must be in the same position that the pawn who reached the end was
at 4:30 , i disagree that black has the advantage. Black does have a solid, compact position but white maintains a space advantage and will also retain most prospects of a kingside attack
All this movies are good, but those moves must be done to have this result. At the moment that move(s) change(s) everything change(s), for example I and most people open with D4 so all this works in part . I have played many years like the books told me (Kasparov,Nimzowich{?}), but somehow it was just creating chaos in my game because I could not find my own style. I have been italian champion in the 90',I lost my skill in years.Chess, Its a pacific way of making war, and I love it.
White wins the pawn back with the queen with attacks on black's knight and rook 2 moves later. b2-b4 is bait. it's a set up. If black declines with the knight, white's b pawn can be supported by a2-a3 or it can be pushed to b5 to attack the knight with interesting possibilities. If the knight doesn't retreat it's disastrous: #. b5 Nb4 #. Qb1 a5 #. b5xa6... (if ...Rxa6, #. Qxb4)(if ...b7xa6, #. Qxb4)(if...Nxa6, #. Qxb7 [ouch])
@tabondjemac >>> What if white would've captured the bishop before black does, then black's king's pawn structure is ruined? for what? a louzy bishop trade ?
what if everybody just subscribe to me? would i be mad? happy? a louzy bishop trade?
One last thing I might add, is that exchanges tend to amplify the latent positional weakness of the knight on b6, which gives white more potential for endgame pressure, therefore black should avoid exchanging his/her other minor pieces, especially if it allows white to recapture favorably.
Well you've gotten some master class lessons in chess today, so enjoy I suppose ...
Bg6 is played to relieve some of the light square pressure on black's kingside, not to mount an attack. Since black wasted several tempi at the start of the game, and has a knight on b6 far away from the white king, trying to attack the white king must be infeasible due to a disadvantage in the 'time' metric.
After Bg4 white can play f3 Bd7(…Bh5(…Re8!?), Nf4 Bg6, Nxg6 hxg6 +/=) Ne4 and white seems to have a good game, although it would require a more thorough analysis to decide
Instead, as is usual, the plan in the Alekhine is for black to pressure the white center to try and force concessions through pinned pieces or commital moves.
m)black does NOT have a better attack than white, even though black has two active bishops. With no kingside structural weaknesses for either side, only a large combination of forces can effectively threaten the king. Clearly given white's spatial advantage in the center, and the unfortunate position of the b6 knight, it will be hard for black to effectively coordinate pieces to attack the white kingside.
k)open e-file may result in rook trades, but it doesn't appear the file can be used in a direct attack yet
l)white has the option of playing a 'direct' move nd5 which allows nxd5 cxd5. Although this creates a structural weakness for white, it pressures the c6 knight into moving, solidifies whites center, and turns c7 into a backwards pawn on a semi-open file, so the potential for this imbalance might be decisive at some point.
i)knight on c6 can come to b4 so qc2 would require a3 as a preperatory move, instead something like be3, rc1, bb1, qd3 might work
j)the white dark square bishop may be good on f4 since in that case it might restrain d5, due to the latent c7 pressure, but it will probably be needed on e3 to guard d4. If given time it might instead play b3, Bb2 to try and challenge black's best kingside defender (dark square bishop)
g)the b6 knight is not well placed because it can't combine with any other black piece to attack, and also it doesn't have any good squares to move to
h)because the black knight is on b6, blacks kingside light square defense is weaker than normal, therefore white should attempt to create a b1-h7 battery with bishop and queen to force an h6 concession, which might allow an eventual g4-g5 push breaking into the black king position
e)the black c6 knight pins the e2 knight to d4. White potentially might want to bring the knight to f4-d5 to occupy a central outpost so white might have to find a way to counter this pin at some point
c)pawn center: white has control, but d4-d5 allows the black c6 knight to come favorably to e5. It's hard to remove the knight from e5, because f2-f4 creates dark square problems for white, therefore it would have a good central outpost.
d)because of note (c) black should attempt to pressure the d4 pawn into advancing
b)pawn structure: symmetrical->less chances to use structural imbalances to create weaknesses in enemy position, therefore white should probably prefer piece play to pawn storming, a move like f4 merely stifles white's pieces and creates a permanent weakness on e3.
1)you demonstrated the idea of analyzing both the usefulness of a piece on its current square and how that value might change if it should move, which is a good way to approach positional calculation.
2)Chess is a game of alternatives, you can't play chess well until you take proper account of various plans, especially in tactical situations
The Alekhine's Defense rarely wins in tournament play at high levels. Can anyone name a high profile chess match where black won in stunning fashion using this defense?
After 9. O-O, according to Crafty 23.4 going to a depth of 19, the position is pretty much equal, with a negligible advantage for Black (-0.03). According to the Shredder opening database, out of the 13 played games White is winning 5, Black is winning 2 and the other 6 are draws. But then, this is a tiny sample.
So if you ask me, it's roughly equal.
Funnily enough, the main line is 3. d4 instead of 3. c4, and if 3. c4 is played it is usually followed by 4. c5.
A recent discovery , the line e4 nf6, e5 nd5,d4 d6 , nf3 dxe5, Nxe5 c6 in the "modern" variation has reawakened the defenses appeal. Old main lines like 4. ...Bg4 or 4.....g6 let white get a pull too easily. The move 4...c6 has flexibility
Black's biggest problem is three moves (3!?) for a knight that still puts it outside the action. THEN the uncovered pieces due to no pawn moves really show weakness.
IF only White hadn't jumped so fast with the pawn attack.
So, while both sides played "book" moves, written by folk I'm sure are higher rated than I, I can't help thinking both sides played less than effectively.
never said enough...remain current as possible on many openings...and the "strange breeds" are included.

The Video tells that Black's Position is better. But, on a whole black is very weak on the kingside and the coordination bet'n the black pieces is very poor. What happens if white plays the extraordinary move Bh6!?... The game continues as Bh6?1 gxh6 (simply coupling the h pawns and exposing the black king to the g file). White can easily dominate the position by a rook lift, followed by the bishop sacrifice on h7 and bringing the queen to the kingside. And, subsequently a "Lawn Mover Mate" !!
I'm going to be honest. Although I love all your other chess analysis and lesson videos, this tends to be quite weak. I acknowledge that this is one of your earlier videos, but perhaps there may be some need to re-shine and add on to some strategies, along with correcting some things here and there, but this is still a good piece of video; just not one of the best I've seen from you. :)
you all puppets ,for childrne ot elanr the newste fighting techniques in chess see delpha 3110 ,but dodnt read the other comments there adult content,thats why i onyl read them
what if white plays 3. c5? your knight is still pinned and you will have to jump behind the enemy pawns to stay clear while your opponent continues to open out
@Sorely I never said that he HAD to bring it up to the middle. I said that IF he tries to go save the knight, it would get screwed easily. If he stayed back, it would be eaten.
Ex: 4.Qd1-h5+ Kf7-g8 5. Qh5-d5+ e7-e6 6. Qd5xe4
So there you go!
(By the way, most people I play are usually dumb enough to go bring his king up to the center for no reason whatsoever...) =)

The Alekhine Defence is actually a pretty bad opening in my opinion. What would happen if instead of advancing his pawn to 2.e4-e5, he would play Bf1-c4? So here is how the game would go: 1.e2-e4 Ng8-f6 2.Bf1-c4 Nf6xe4 3.Bc4xf7+! Ke8xf7 4.Qd1-h5+ Kf7-f6 (You would win the knight by force even if he moved to g8. If he tries to save the N with the K, the K will be screwed, as you'll see.)
@PhantomOwnage Who do you play chess against that they would advance their king into the middle of the board when faced with an attacking queen? Better yet, why on earth would black play 2...Nxe4? It is obviously not the best move.
@PhantomOwnage true, he would win the knight after Kg8, however, after Qd5+, e6, Qxe4, d5, black has a slight advantage. not to mention that black doesnt even have to take the pawn after Bf1-c4.
...True, but like I said on my response from Sorely, the Alekhine Defense is actually kind of difficult to play as black. One slip costs you the game. Besides, usually in quick and blitz games your opponent thinks somewhat along the lines of this:
Noob opponent: Bringing knight and threatinin capture! HAHAHAHAHA!
(Next move)
Noob opponent: WHAT THE **** *** ***** for a **** stick! He's giving up a pawn! (Clicks on knight then pawn w/ mouse)
@PhantomOwnage actually, most of my games go like this (i play alekhine):
e4, Nf6, Nc3, Nc6, Nf3. now after this playing e5 is completely ok, as you probably know, and makes for an easy to play game. personally i play d5 instead with nice results, but my point is there are always different variants in which it'll be hard to play.
I would not say that black has the advantage after 1.e4 Nf6 2.e5 Nd5 3.c4 Nb6 4.d4 d6 5.exd6 exd6 6.Nc3 Be7 7.Bd3 Nc6 8.Nge2 0-0 9.0-0 Nb4. As you said, it is the book moves and therefore also, most probably, the best moves. Chess is a game where there is an ultimate way of playing for white (although no one has ever found it) and I don´t think white has given the advantage away by playing the best moves^^
@drugsISwrong this might be a good move for a person playing a non chess player . being a begineer . someone tried this on me and i beat them . i deny them this setup.
PLEASE HELP. (fast chess) i see a tramp, and late a game i see a very much better than i belive with 1.e4 Nf3 2.e5 Nd4 3.c4 Nb3 4.Nc3 d6 5.d4 dxe5 6.c5 ----> So, please help!!! what is the right black answer: he move 6... Nd7 and i make 6. c5 N6d7 7. Bc4 exd4 8.Nf3!! dxc3? 9. Bxf7+ Kxf7 10. Ng5+ Ke8 11. Ne6 1-0 win a queen by a knight and bishop (other king mov is mate), I mean Nd7 is not right so please this (6. c5) opening exist?? is right?
In all the history of black's games (played by a grandmaster), this line was only reached once, up to the point of Rae8. (The actual game went Rad8). Black went on to lose, most likely because the lack of space taken during the beginning of the game. I personally do not suggest this opening.
I don't think Black would play Rookb1 as in the game line and similarily White won't offer Pawn for Black knight simply because it takes out Queen from the centre of the game. And yes the book moves you have are definetely deliberately putting Black to advantage....Also think about this After Blacks' light squared Bishop plays g6, White light squared Bishop would right away capture black bishop to disrupt Black king's castle position. Rather than wait to be taken away by black.
I've checked out loads of your videos and like them. This is the only one where I wasn't really clear on your final analysis. You suggested lots of positions for the black and white pieces but it was hard for me to see how they would actually happen.
For example b on f6 can access the f6-h4 diagonal, and h6-f4 diagonal if it wants to. How could it access the h6-f4 diagonal without being taken? That's just one of a few examples my mediocre chess brain didn't get.
firstly the alekhine defense does not guarantee an advantage as the author seems to imply. Many times where he says black is better he is exagerating. At 4:21 i would say it is equal or white has the advantage. Also white can avoid all this by simply playing 3. Bc4 which ,means he has a d4 e5 centre and seeks to develop more pieces rather than having such a large centre
The position towards the end of the video after 21.Rfe1 looks roughly equal, but White had no reason to play the lemon 16.b4. Instead, Black has big problems after 16.Nf4, hitting the d-pawn. If either knight goes to e7, then 17.Nh5 followed by 18.Nxf6+ wrecks Black's K-side. Just as bad is 16...Nb4 17.Qb5 a5 18.Nh5 or here 17...Nc2 18.Nfxd5 Nxa1 19.Qxb7 Ne7 20.Nxf6+ gxf6 21.Rxa1 with huge compensation for the exchange.
@kafros4ever2 cxd6 is certainly playable. It is sharper and riskier since White now has a 3 to 2 Q-side majority (after the eventual moves ...d5 by Black, c5 by White). On the other hand, Black gets good play against White's weak d4 pawn. Fischer and Korchnoi have both won games on the Black side of this.
In the past our teachers were always the grandmasters and worldchampions, nowadays our teachers are the computers. They play , solve and compose . So have a look at youtube.com :
I just played Chess Titans on my computer. One of my moves was my Knight. Well, after I moved, Computer moved the Queen & Rook simultaneously.
Computer had 2 spaces in between Rook and Queen, horizontally moved both pieces close to each other and switched positions; whomever was on the left was place on the right & on the right, placed on the left of the other piece.
I did an undo & repeated the same move 2 make sure I wasn't seeing things & the same thing happened.
@iamScodal thanks 4 the reply, but, it was the Queen and Rook. Like, I said, I did an undo and then moved the same piece to make sure that I saw it right.
But, I guess what u r saying is that in some cases it is legal to bring together and switch the places of 2 power pieces at the same time.
i playd chess when i whose litel sow i think you know whot your talking about i even playd agenst estonia and got the 3 place (not to brag)but i can tell you that it is a great combination my team made kude play thie sow she realy whose good and whone alot of machi i am sorry i have realy bad english
@ 5:11 it is now whites move, I am no pro but wouldn't it be better for whites bishop to take blacks white bishop forcing the H7 pawn to take back white bishop thus kinda wreaking blacks castle defense? I am a Chess n00b so if someone could explain that to me it would be appreciated.
black would take back with the g-pawn to open the file for his f-rook. furthermore, in a kingside castled position it is quite common to start an attack with f4 (f5 for black) anyway
@ModernNosferatu White may have been worried about dropping the c4 pawn but it doesn't work here! So, after your 13.Bxg6 if 13...Nxc4?? then 14.Bxh7+ followed by 15.Qd3 and Black is lost.. So there seems nothing better after 13.Bxg6 than 13...hxg6 14.b3 d5 15.c5 Nc8 - similar to jrobi's book line except that White no longer has the strong Nf4-h5. So, it looks better to just play b3 first and let White exchange on d3.
This guy did the Alekhine's Defense, Mokele Mbembe against me (1. e4 Nf6 2. e5 Ne4) so I was like what's up holmes 3. d3 Nc5 4. d4 Na4 5. c4 Nc6 6. b3 Nb6 7. a3 both his knights got stuck 7...d6 8. h3 dxe5 9. Nf3 exd4 he wanted a knight trade but I gridlocked his pawn instead (10. Bd3) then 10...e5 11. O-O g5 12. Nxg5 Bh6 13. Qh5 Bxg5 14. Bxg5 Qd6 15. Nd2 h6 16. Ne4 Qg6 he wanted a queen trade but I checked his king and did a discovered attack on his queen (17. Nf6+ Ke7 18. Bxg6) and he quit ay.

@koekjeeee because white has to maintain a strong center position, with d5 the c5 and e5 squares would become weak, furthermore black could easily capture the d4 square with its knight and defend it with pawns. so white has to defend the d4 square
danielbakos 4 months ago
@koekjeeee Just because with Ne5 would centralize more the black knight,attacking both the d3 bishop (that has the diagonal b1-h7 as the pawn in c4, and it can retreat to Ng6 if neccessary. Also the pawn in d5 can be attacked. So as there is no need or hurry to move to d5, usually this type of moves are better left for when the plans are more developed. The immediate d4-d5 should not lose, but certainly is not doing any special for winning. A concept here is "to mantain the tension"
noelgrade 3 months ago
i am not so sure but that knight will immediately attack c4 which is guarded by one bishop against 2 black knights if you line up all your white pawns on white squares starting from d5 e4 b3 a2 black bishop may attack your rook. and definitely compromises the a, b, c side of your board but again i am not a chess expert but i think you want to clump your pieces very carefully and want to have one focal point of attack.

@koekjeeee because if white plays pawn d5, black can play knight to e5, which attacks white's bishop, and is a great outpost positionally for his knight. By playing pawn d5, white is handing is control over the centre to black's knight.

White wins the pawn back with the queen with attacks on black's knight and rook 2 moves later. b2-b4 is bait. it's a set up. If black declines with the knight, white's b pawn can be supported by a2-a3 or it can be pushed to b5 to attack the knight with interesting possibilities. If the knight doesn't retreat it's disastrous: #. b5 Nb4 #. Qb1 a5 #. b5xa6... (if ...Rxa6, #. Qxb4)(if ...b7xa6, #. Qxb4)(if...Nxa6, #. Qxb7 [ouch])

punkmanzz 1 year ago
One last thing I might add, is that exchanges tend to amplify the latent positional weakness of the knight on b6, which gives white more potential for endgame pressure, therefore black should avoid exchanging his/her other minor pieces, especially if it allows white to recapture favorably.
Well you've gotten some master class lessons in chess today, so enjoy I suppose ...
argonaaut 1 year ago
After d5 you can argue black has a reasonable position since the central pawn chain on d4, c5 turns white's bishop bad, and black's good
argonaaut 1 year ago
Bg6 is played to relieve some of the light square pressure on black's kingside, not to mount an attack. Since black wasted several tempi at the start of the game, and has a knight on b6 far away from the white king, trying to attack the white king must be infeasible due to a disadvantage in the 'time' metric.
argonaaut 1 year ago
After Bg4 white can play f3 Bd7(…Bh5(…Re8!?), Nf4 Bg6, Nxg6 hxg6 +/=) Ne4 and white seems to have a good game, although it would require a more thorough analysis to decide
argonaaut 1 year ago
Instead, as is usual, the plan in the Alekhine is for black to pressure the white center to try and force concessions through pinned pieces or commital moves.
argonaaut 1 year ago
m)black does NOT have a better attack than white, even though black has two active bishops. With no kingside structural weaknesses for either side, only a large combination of forces can effectively threaten the king. Clearly given white's spatial advantage in the center, and the unfortunate position of the b6 knight, it will be hard for black to effectively coordinate pieces to attack the white kingside.
argonaaut 1 year ago
k)open e-file may result in rook trades, but it doesn't appear the file can be used in a direct attack yet
l)white has the option of playing a 'direct' move nd5 which allows nxd5 cxd5. Although this creates a structural weakness for white, it pressures the c6 knight into moving, solidifies whites center, and turns c7 into a backwards pawn on a semi-open file, so the potential for this imbalance might be decisive at some point.
argonaaut 1 year ago
i)knight on c6 can come to b4 so qc2 would require a3 as a preperatory move, instead something like be3, rc1, bb1, qd3 might work
j)the white dark square bishop may be good on f4 since in that case it might restrain d5, due to the latent c7 pressure, but it will probably be needed on e3 to guard d4. If given time it might instead play b3, Bb2 to try and challenge black's best kingside defender (dark square bishop)
argonaaut 1 year ago
g)the b6 knight is not well placed because it can't combine with any other black piece to attack, and also it doesn't have any good squares to move to
h)because the black knight is on b6, blacks kingside light square defense is weaker than normal, therefore white should attempt to create a b1-h7 battery with bishop and queen to force an h6 concession, which might allow an eventual g4-g5 push breaking into the black king position
argonaaut 1 year ago
e)the black c6 knight pins the e2 knight to d4. White potentially might want to bring the knight to f4-d5 to occupy a central outpost so white might have to find a way to counter this pin at some point
f)the d3 bishop is pinned to c4 by the b6 knight.
argonaaut 1 year ago
c)pawn center: white has control, but d4-d5 allows the black c6 knight to come favorably to e5. It's hard to remove the knight from e5, because f2-f4 creates dark square problems for white, therefore it would have a good central outpost.
d)because of note (c) black should attempt to pressure the d4 pawn into advancing
argonaaut 1 year ago
b)pawn structure: symmetrical->less chances to use structural imbalances to create weaknesses in enemy position, therefore white should probably prefer piece play to pawn storming, a move like f4 merely stifles white's pieces and creates a permanent weakness on e3.
argonaaut 1 year ago
3)Some of your analysis is incomplete. Here is how I would have analyzed the position albeit a little haphazardly:
a)material: equal, no piece trades->potentially good chances to build attacking pressure for white
argonaaut 1 year ago
Regarding your analysis around minute 2:00:
1)you demonstrated the idea of analyzing both the usefulness of a piece on its current square and how that value might change if it should move, which is a good way to approach positional calculation.
2)Chess is a game of alternatives, you can't play chess well until you take proper account of various plans, especially in tactical situations

The Alekhine's Defense rarely wins in tournament play at high levels. Can anyone name a high profile chess match where black won in stunning fashion using this defense?
ftworthxxx 1 year ago
After 9. O-O, according to Crafty 23.4 going to a depth of 19, the position is pretty much equal, with a negligible advantage for Black (-0.03). According to the Shredder opening database, out of the 13 played games White is winning 5, Black is winning 2 and the other 6 are draws. But then, this is a tiny sample.
So if you ask me, it's roughly equal.
Funnily enough, the main line is 3. d4 instead of 3. c4, and if 3. c4 is played it is usually followed by 4. c5.

Black's biggest problem is three moves (3!?) for a knight that still puts it outside the action. THEN the uncovered pieces due to no pawn moves really show weakness.
IF only White hadn't jumped so fast with the pawn attack.
So, while both sides played "book" moves, written by folk I'm sure are higher rated than I, I can't help thinking both sides played less than effectively.

The Video tells that Black's Position is better. But, on a whole black is very weak on the kingside and the coordination bet'n the black pieces is very poor. What happens if white plays the extraordinary move Bh6!?... The game continues as Bh6?1 gxh6 (simply coupling the h pawns and exposing the black king to the g file). White can easily dominate the position by a rook lift, followed by the bishop sacrifice on h7 and bringing the queen to the kingside. And, subsequently a "Lawn Mover Mate" !!

SoKoFLiKo1 1 year ago
The Alekhine Defence is actually a pretty bad opening in my opinion. What would happen if instead of advancing his pawn to 2.e4-e5, he would play Bf1-c4? So here is how the game would go: 1.e2-e4 Ng8-f6 2.Bf1-c4 Nf6xe4 3.Bc4xf7+! Ke8xf7 4.Qd1-h5+ Kf7-f6 (You would win the knight by force even if he moved to g8. If he tries to save the N with the K, the K will be screwed, as you'll see.)
5.Qh5-f3+ Kf6-e5 6.d2-d4+ Ke5xd4 7.Ng1-e2+ Kd4-e5 8.Bc1-f4+ Ke5-d5
9.Nb1-c3+

kingdomIce32 1 year ago
@kingdomIce32
...True, but like I said on my response from Sorely, the Alekhine Defense is actually kind of difficult to play as black. One slip costs you the game. Besides, usually in quick and blitz games your opponent thinks somewhat along the lines of this:
Noob opponent: Bringing knight and threatinin capture! HAHAHAHAHA!
(Next move)
Noob opponent: WHAT THE **** *** ***** for a **** stick! He's giving up a pawn! (Clicks on knight then pawn w/ mouse)
(Several moves later)
Me: Checkmate!

@PhantomOwnage actually, most of my games go like this (i play alekhine):
e4, Nf6, Nc3, Nc6, Nf3. now after this playing e5 is completely ok, as you probably know, and makes for an easy to play game. personally i play d5 instead with nice results, but my point is there are always different variants in which it'll be hard to play.

In all the history of black's games (played by a grandmaster), this line was only reached once, up to the point of Rae8. (The actual game went Rad8). Black went on to lose, most likely because the lack of space taken during the beginning of the game. I personally do not suggest this opening.
sly625 1 year ago
I don't think Black would play Rookb1 as in the game line and similarily White won't offer Pawn for Black knight simply because it takes out Queen from the centre of the game. And yes the book moves you have are definetely deliberately putting Black to advantage....Also think about this After Blacks' light squared Bishop plays g6, White light squared Bishop would right away capture black bishop to disrupt Black king's castle position. Rather than wait to be taken away by black.

I've checked out loads of your videos and like them. This is the only one where I wasn't really clear on your final analysis. You suggested lots of positions for the black and white pieces but it was hard for me to see how they would actually happen.
For example b on f6 can access the f6-h4 diagonal, and h6-f4 diagonal if it wants to. How could it access the h6-f4 diagonal without being taken? That's just one of a few examples my mediocre chess brain didn't get.
kitjohnson1 1 year ago
firstly the alekhine defense does not guarantee an advantage as the author seems to imply. Many times where he says black is better he is exagerating. At 4:21 i would say it is equal or white has the advantage. Also white can avoid all this by simply playing 3. Bc4 which ,means he has a d4 e5 centre and seeks to develop more pieces rather than having such a large centre

The position towards the end of the video after 21.Rfe1 looks roughly equal, but White had no reason to play the lemon 16.b4. Instead, Black has big problems after 16.Nf4, hitting the d-pawn. If either knight goes to e7, then 17.Nh5 followed by 18.Nxf6+ wrecks Black's K-side. Just as bad is 16...Nb4 17.Qb5 a5 18.Nh5 or here 17...Nc2 18.Nfxd5 Nxa1 19.Qxb7 Ne7 20.Nxf6+ gxf6 21.Rxa1 with huge compensation for the exchange.

So there seems nothing better after 13.Bxg6 than 13...hxg6 14.b3 d5 15.c5 Nc8 - similar to jrobi's book line except that White no longer has the strong Nf4-h5. So, it looks better to just play b3 first and let White exchange on d3.
