@LeoBirkJeism - The nasty, vulgar and profane comment is not appreciated.

Things change, knowledge progresses. What was considered impossible in the past many times becomes reality in the future. 1972 was almost *40 years ago*.  Good luck to you.

ok here is how it works. I copied the first moves from the game you posted a few weeks ago, where you say you destroyed Alekhines. 1. e4 - Nf6 2. e5 - Nd5 3. d4 - d6 4. c4 - Nb6 5. exd6 - cxd6 6. Nc3 - Bf5 7. Qf3! - Qc8 Now, i suggested that 7..Qc8 is better than the move that was played in the game. And this follows: 8. c5 dxc5 9. dxc5.. and now you say "where`s the black night gonna go??" it doesnt have to go anywhere..black simply plays 9...Qxc5.

It's baffling that more people don't use Alekhine's Defense. It really isn't more convoluted than the Najdorf Sicilian.

yeah, and fischer didn't have computers to figure it out.

@Wuggamusprime.....i think if queen captures pawn on H3.....then the bishop can just move right to C7 attacking the rook and protecting the pawn on D4 with his queen...but i'm seriously no expert at chess so.....i dunno

now I see why everyone plays the exchange variation when I play the alekhine's defence
