The Alekhine Defense | Chess Opening Tutorial

Here you can get my tactics eBook for beginners (free): http://bit.ly/tactics-ebook

The Alekhine defence begins after the moves 1.e4 Nf6. In this chess opening, Black develops the knight early to attack the centre pawn on e4. White usually reacts to the Alekhine defense by playing 2.e5, attacking the knight on f6. After 2...Nd5 the opening can go in different directions. In this video, I discuss different typical positions and variations that you can expect in this opening. The Alekhine defense is a solid weapon for Black; however, Black is left with less space in most of the variations.

In this series, Chess Opening Tutorial, I cover a specific chess opening and explain the fundamental ideas and positions that can arise in that opening.
