	Alexander Alekhine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Alexander Alekhine Alexander Alexandrovich Alekhine (sometimes spelled "Aljechin") (in Russian, Александр Александрович Але́хин), (October 31 or November 1, 1892 – March 24, 1946) was a chess master, one of the great world chess champions.
		Alekhine was born into a wealthy family in Moscow, Russia: his father was a landowner and a member of the Duma; his mother, who along with his brother taught him chess in 1903, was the daughter of a rich industrialist.
		Alekhine's first chess accomplishment was when, in 1909, at the age of seventeen, he won the All-Russian Amateur Tournament in St. Petersburg with a score of twelve wins, two losses and two draws.

	Chess opening - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Pirc and the Modern are also commonly seen, while the Alekhine and the Center Counter have made occasional appearances in World Chess Championship games.
		Alekhine's, the Pirc and the Modern are hypermodern openings in which Black tempts White to build a large center with the goal of attacking it with pieces.
		Adopted for a time by World Champions Alekhine and Botvinnik, it is still played occasionally at the top level by Short and others.

		Alekhine was overjoyed at the prospect and eager to prove himself over-the-board.
		Indeed, Alekhine was in such bad odor that Alekhine's Defense was renamed the Moscow Defense in the USSR.
		He explains why Alekhine was reviled after the war and why people tried to strip him of the title and ban him from international tournaments.

		The position has occured only twice, and even if it had occurred three times, fl could not claim the draw because a draw by recurrence can only be made by the one whose turn it is to move.
		Alekhine may have made the absurd draw claim deliberately, to make Reti over-confident (Purdy)." - Irving Chernev.
		This was given by Alekhine in his book on his best games as his intention.

		The nimzo-indian and queens indian are very different in nature; i dont usually play either, but recently have been experimenting with the line 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 b6 4.g3 Ba6 5.b3 b5!?, a novelty which seems to offer interesting play.
		Otherwise I would play benoni/ kings indian to d4 mainly, but I try to remain flexible (i have found chigorins defence to be good).
		As for 1.e4 (my move of choice) I enjoy implementing the sicilian dragon, of which I know rather a lot of theory for, or sometimes the najdorf, but i also play the french and other stuff whenever I feel like a change.

		Alekhine's Defence is a sharp and controversial opening in which Black attacks from the very first move, provoking White into lunging forward in the centre.
		The Scandinavian Defence, previously thought to be a rather primitive and sub-standard response to 1 e4, has now emerged from the doldrums and been employed with success by some of the world's strongest Grandmasters, including Bent Larsen, Curt Hansen, Ian Rogers, Alexei Shirov and Vishy Anand.
		Other topics include attack and defence in equal positions, where both sides must judge carefully how much of their resources to devote to the attack and the counter-attack.

		Fischer even said so many times, though it has to be noted that that didn't prevent him from playing it from time to time, and when he did he could devastate anyone!

	Dr. Smither's chess books
		His approach was not one of Alekhine type evaluation of strings of variations but of themes and general ideas.
		For the French defence the main areas looked at are main line typical scenarios that come out of main lines such as isolated pawn scenario (via Tarrasch) doubled pawn scenarios (Winawer and McCutchion) etc. The structure defines the areas examined rather than the specific route to that scenario.
		Books in this range would support a player who (a) is starting out in this defence or (b) wants to change sub-variation (c) needs help grasping strategic ideas of their defence they have 'invested' time and games in.

		The last thing to mention is that you wrote something to the effect of "I can't believe alekhine played it"...well to be honest he didn't play it very often.
		It is correct that Alekhine introduced this defence in master play - I think he played some nice games against Mieses and Steiner.
		In addition, most of the opening theory of this line is well-established and there is much less room for surprises than in other variations that white can play against the Alekhine defence.

		Alekhines Defence is a sharp opening in which Black attacks from move one, provoking White into lunging forward in the centre.
		White is often able to construct an impressively large central pawn formation, but Blacks hope is that this becomes overstretched and disintegrates in the face of a vicious counterattack.
		In this easytoread guide, openings expert John Cox goes back to basics, studying the essential principles of Alekhines Defence and its numerous variations.

		The formation he uses in the Dutch Defence is usually referred to as the Hort-Antoshin Variation, which I think was introduced by Hort around 1960, with Antoshin later contributing to the underlying ideas.
		Alexander Alekhine and Efim Bogoljubow are seated in the foreground and the FIDE President, Alexander Rueb, is in the centre.

		Those are two of the sharpest 1.d4 defences, and I'm still not convinced on the "correctness" of the Benoni or the KID.
		I eventually decided on the Nimzo because, despite the fact I have Jonathon Rowson's excellent "Understanding the Grünfeld", the Grünfeld is one of those defences you have to play a lot in order to get comfortable with it, and I've played the Nimzo for years.
		Botvinnik's great but i think that you need to look wider, kotov alekhine and shirov of the more modern era work for me, but each to there own.

		Budapest 1921 · Alekhine Defense: Saemisch Attack (B02) · 1/2-1/2
		: some-how I can imagine that Alekhine was sitting there in Budapest, in his military uniform wanting to try out his new defense - and since Samisch was that eager to exchange his checkers, the game ended up being just another boring draw - but still Alekhine's first 1.e4, Nf6!
		Samisch, as I understand it, was a major positional player at the time, and this is one of the most positional defences I know.

		He convincingly shows that the Alekhine’s can be a practical weapon for the average player and perhaps much stronger ones.
		I should emphasize that this is no detailed theoretical tome and certainly contains some errors (it is already dated!), so you should expect to be given the spirit of the opening with no illusions of getting an airtight repertoire.
		STARTING OUT: ALEKHINE’S DEFENCE is well written and to my mind serves the main purpose of this series as a guide for the inexperienced player, but with some fairly advanced material interwoven for the more experienced one.
