Alekhine’s Defense (1.e4 Nf6) is a popular choice for Black in which the second player permits White to occupy a significant center territory. Black’s intent is to have White over-extend himself and attack with strong-counter-play. Accurate play is required of both sides, and there are numerous opportunities for sacrifices and chess traps on both sides. This collection of over 600 miniature chess games (25 moves or less) provides an excellent opportunity in studying chess strategy, tactics, and defense. All of the games are lightly annotated with diagrams added to the more critical positions. These decisive games include well-known opening traps, clever combinations, and chess opening blunders arising from 1.e4 Nf6. These miniature games come from a wide range of chess players, from kibitzer to grandmaster. This game collection is aimed at anyone who plays or faces the Alekhine’s Defense. Enjoy!
