Hi, in case of interest the Lichess study referenced in the blog is here: lichess.org/study/s1ofYhVP

Oh only six diagrams needed to master Alekhines Defence! How easy it is! Why bother buying 100s of books with 300 pages each! Thanks Sir
You played Bronstein??
This is amazing! I often play Alekhine style positions so it's good timing that this blog was posted. Definitely will use in my shorter time control repertoire.
Can we have the Sicilian in only 3 diagrams please? Asking for a friend.
Bronstein won a fantastic game against Ljubojevic.
I think this is a good surprise opening.
Thanks for the study

I presume this is the Bronstein - Ljubo game you refer to: lichess.org/30WVeXdd#18
Unfortunately Stockfish isn't quite as impressed as I was when I saw it many years ago. In terms of the opening SF just says 10.d6 kills the entire variation.

about 1 e4 Nf6 2 Nc3 e5.. when playing alekhine against lower levels (about 2000- otb), i found out that many players with white aren't actually ready for the transposition and start to improvise.
special mention that an unreasonably high proportion of games from that point continued 3 Nf3 Nc6 4 Bc4, where Nxe4 is well known.. not yet advantage black but likely to be :D
and yeah ljubojevic line is theoretically completely busted unfortunately, i got many points with d6 myself
