Overview
The Alekhine opening is known to be one of the oldest weapons for black against 1.e4. The opening takes its name from the former World Chess Champion Alexander Alekhine, who implemented this opening with great success.
Nowadays, the Alekhine is regarded as an interesting option for black if you want to avoid openings that get huge attention like the Sicilian opening or 1…e5.
Even the world champion Magnus Carlsen took an interest and implemented this opening in his (online) blitz repertoire!
GingerGM welcomes you into the world of the non-standard and dangerous Killer Alekhine opening!
