[Opening "French: Winawer, Alekhine Gambit"]
1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.Ne2 { White employs a solid alternative to the
usual 4 e5, making sure that he avoids doubled c-pawns if Black exchanges on
c3. This move is still rated as unusual in tournaments so will have a certain
amount of surprise value. The logical continuation for Black is to try and
punish White by taking on e4 and then holding on to the extra pawn. } 4...dxe4
5.a3 Bxc3+ ( { It is also possible to retreat the bishop with } 5...Be7 { and
that is discussed in the game Chadaev-Ponkratov later in this chapter. } )
6.Nxc3 f5 { This is a greedy adventure to hang on to the extra pawn and hope
to make it count. In a book of his best games, Alekhine wrote: 'Played against
all the principles of a sound opening strategy, as the dark-coloured squares
of Black's position will become very weak, especially because of the exchange
of his king's bishop.' } ( { A reasonable alternative, suggested by Alekhine,
is } 6...Nc6 { to attack the d4-pawn. Play usually continues } 7.Bb5 Ne7 8.Bg5
{ (provoking Black into blocking the pin with a pawn to ensure a long-term
weakness) } ) {#r} 1-0
1-0
