Alekhine Alert!
Former US Open Champion Timothy Taylor takes a
contemporary look at one of Black's most ambitious
counters to 1 e4, the Alekhine Defence. This is a sharp
opening in which Black attacks from the very beginning,
luring White’s central pawns forward in the expectation of
destroying them later on. The Alekhine is a favourite
among creative players such as Nigel Short, Vassily
Ivanchuk and Hikaru Nakamura.
By studying the most important games and also drawing
upon his own experience in the opening, Taylor constructs
a practical repertoire for Black, ideal for the modern-day
player. All the key tactical and positional ideas for both
players are covered, and crucial move-order nuances are
highlighted. This book provides everything you need to
know to play the Alekhine with confidence.
• A dynamic repertoire for Black
• Provides answers to all of White’s possibilities
• Ideal for improvers, club players and tournament
players.

International Master Timothy Taylor is an experienced


tournament player who has enjoyed several notable
successes, including winning the US Open. He is also a
skilled chess writer, one of his previous books, How to
Defeat the Smith-Morra Gambit , becoming a US Chess
Federation bestseller.
