Alekhine's Defence
1.e4 Nf6
The Alekhine defence has a provocative strategy of tempting the White pawns forward, and as we all know pawns cannot go
backwards! Black hopes to be able to exploit the weaknesses and vacuum that White creates by advancing her pawns. White
has to prove that the extra space is advantageous and often demonstrates this by easier manoevering of forces for example
for king attacking, and a space advantage which can be nurtured and carried to the endgame. Black often demonstrates the
effectiveness of the provocation strategy by winning material tactically based on the weak squares and pawns that White has
been tempted into creating.
