Fritz Trainer: ABC of Alekhine w/ Andrew Martin

Alekhine's Defence. Aggressive, Resilient, and Very Much Alive.

With 1...Nf6, Black immediately challenges White's e4 pawn and fights for the initiative from the very first move. IM Andrew Martin makes a compelling case: Alekhine's Defence gives Black a tough, resilient position with ample counterplay — and more grandmasters are using it today than ever before.

This is a particularly effective weapon at club level, where opponents are rarely well-prepared for immediate aggression and often respond passively. To underestimate Alekhine's Defence would be a big mistake.
