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. White is often able to construct an impressively large central pawn formation, but Black’s hope is that this becomes over-stretched and disintegrates in the face of a vicious counterattack.

Unsurprisingly, Alekhine’s Defence has always been a favourite amongst uncompromising players such as Fischer and Alekhine himself, while more recently it’s been utilised by the likes of Ivanchuk and Short.

In this easy-to-read guide, openings expert John Cox goes back to basics, studying the essential principles of Alekhine’s Defence and its numerous variations. Throughout the book there are an abundance of notes, tips and warnings to guide the improving player, while key strategies, ideas and tactics for both sides are clearly illustrated.
  • User-friendly lay out to help readers absorb ideas
