description: 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 creative opening in which Black attacks from the very beginning luring White's central pawns forward in the expectation of destroying them later on. In this book Taylor constructs a practical repertoire for Black ideal for the modern-day player. All the key tactical and positional ideas are covered and important move-order nuances are highlighted. This book provides everything you need to know in order to play the Alekhine with confidence.
