This free course is a sample of the full course: Lifetime Repertoires: Alekhine Defense
A surprise weapon with original lines that will leave your opponents stumped
The Alekhine Defense is an intriguing opening for which few 1.e4 players are prepared. It works as an excellent surprise weapon. This is the most cutting-edge and comprehensive resource on the Alekhine out there.
Author GM Roeland Pruijssers knows how effective it can be too. The two-time Dutch youth champ has used the Alekhine to great success for over
more than two decades.
And he doesn't just rehash old Alekhine theory either. In Short & Sweet: Pruijssers' Alekhine Defense, you get
12 original engine-tested lines that guarantee you
imbalanced and dynamic positions. The resulting complications for White will leave opponents scratching their heads.
What you get inside:
♞ An innovative approach to the Four Pawns Attack pioneered by Magnus Carlsen
♞ Take back with the more challenging
5…cxd6 in the Exchange Variation
♞ Avoid transpositions in the Classic Variation with
4…dxe5 and fianchettoing your dark-square bishop
♞ Keep the tension and develop rapidly when White plays the "safe" 3.Nc3
♞ Keep things original when White plays the Anti-Alekhine (2.Nc3) with 2…d5
The originality of the course alone is enough to make any player want to give this a look. There are no easy cop-outs for White here leading to transpositions. GM Pruijssers makes sure you're in the driver's seat with unique variations that will force your opponent to think.
