Every one of your videos is so well prepared. The lines you choose to go over the truest and most accurate. I have learned so much. Thank you for your contribution to chess. I can't wait to see what you go over next. Perhaps you might want to expand your video selection and go over so famous games or just some chess history. Keep up the great work!
I'm not so sure about that? I think it's important to be objective though. Black is taking a big strategic risk with 1...Nf6 but it can and often does pay off. If you are a fan of the Alekhine's Defense and it works for you - then simply use this information to help you play it better. If it stimulates you to consider new openings, go for it! -Dereque
Great work again! You're showing more and more with every video that I know nothing about chess and that all I was doing was guessing. That's a good thing, what you're doing!
well the position in discussion is from Alekhine's defence.. which plays that way in the beginning (3 knight moves). It has been used in master games before.. I haven't seen 6. Ng5 in any master database however. And d5 I believe is one of the few good defensive moves for that position
RUYE LOPAZ was considered to be very best openings because it was played by Boby Fisher. Aelkeine was senior to him and at that time Capablanca was in the field. I also played that opening but game was heading longer and I don't had good moves.
Completely blocking the a1-g8 diagonal of your black bishop. Takes pressure away from the center and loses space there. and you've moved the same pawn twice and the same night 3 times in the first 6 moves...d5 is very passive and will have trouble equalizing.
I'm fairly new to chess, and for some reason I am really drawn to this defense. But unless I am misunderstanding, it just seems really easy for white to gain an advantage. What am I missing about why this defense is even a thing?
I went to a mall a few hours away from where I live and smack dab in the middle of it there was a huge chess club going on! I mean, there wasn't a lot of people, but we had state champions and such there. It was a lot of fun, but helped me realize how much I still have to improve... XD
Thank you very much Dereque! I played the most stupid opening I could figure out in tournament - Alekhine`s defense Scandinavian variation and barely got a draw. I wish I had watched this video previously.
I have a question though, Why not, after (white) e-4, (black) f-6 (white) e-5 move your black knight to g4? This way you attack white's pawn, and it will force white to either lose the pawn, or wreck open it's flank. Now, I use this opening a lot and am winning quite much with it (it has to be noted that I have an ELO of only around 900 though..)
Qxg4 could happen here! This simply "drops" or gives up the knight...not to be recommended! Welcome to our royal game! :) And thank you for participating on the channel, I very much appreciate it!! :)
I've seen many variations in this modern opening. There is plenty of analysis to be made going forward. Kelley provided more than enough. I mean the video would be like 3 hrs if he was going to really get into a list of lines. 8D
You should discuss black moves more than white moves since u are talking about alekhine defence. Or just change the title to - Playing against Alekhine defence.
i'd prefer to trade black's bishop for white's knight. because that knight is a very strong. normally we don't want to trade bishops for knights. but not in this case i think.
you're doing an awesome job.......how about going a bit further and describing the opening bit more deeper.......you're ideas are superb but bit more depth analysis would be appreciated.....#just a suggestion....anyways great
I am not greatly familiar with this topic to be honest and now is not a good time for me to do research! Investigate my paid private lessons option on chessopenings.com to find out more about how we could work together on this topic!
your analysis starting 4:10 is incomplete. Black is more than fine after the moves... 1. e4 Nf6 2. e5 Nd5 3. Nf3 g6 4. Bc4 Nb6 5. Bb3 Bg7 6. Ng5? d5 (instead of 0-0? .. 7. e6 f5 and black is not doomed) .. this obvious move d5 defends well against premature attacking plans by white, where now Black has gained tempi and with focus on development, Black could easily have an advantage.
I love your air of neutrality when you explain these endings. That makes me have to ask, what is your favorite oepning, and what is your preferable defense to e4? Your nimzo video has made me bouncing back between that and the chigorin. Thanks for everything Dereque.
My favorite opening is probably the White side of the King's Indian! I find White's play very logical and indicative of overall chess theory. To e4 usually the Chigorin Spanish though I also really like the Petrov and the Najdorf :) You're so welcome!! Happy chess travels and thank you!! :)
I'm always having a difficult time when playing the Alekhine's Defence because most of my opponents will pressure me with the threats to the knight. And after a short while, my gameplay crumbles. Alekhine's Defence is a strong opening, but hard to master.
thanks a lot kelly ,but i think we need to learn more and more about opening ,so please can you make the explanation for every defence deeper perhaps in more than one video for every defence
you dont play alekhine defense for a boring QGD transposition by play D5. Lovers of alekhine defense it is because of its demonstration that you can break all the so-called rules and get a great game of chess that is complex and tactically can be very sharp! After all chess is supposed to be fun!
If you play the Alekhine's Defence, please visit my www: web.facebook.com/AlekhinesDefence/ You can find there a lot of interesting games, some books reviews, tips and tricks, etc.
Hehe, it turned out I was white :), must have been really confused. But I really liked this video especially the focus on what might go wrong for black is interesting since I have a hard time understanding these modern openings.
Thank you! I remember at the time being aware of different ways of pronouncing it and I trust what you're saying is probably true. Maybe next time I'll take a look before I say Alekhine's name. Thanks again! Sincerely, Krishna (formerly known as Dereque)

This is one of the best videios I've seen on the Alekhine's defense. The explanations are clear and simple. Awesome!
Every one of your videos is so well prepared. The lines you choose to go over the truest and most accurate. I have learned so much. Thank you for your contribution to chess. I can't wait to see what you go over next. Perhaps you might want to expand your video selection and go over so famous games or just some chess history. Keep up the great work!
He goes at a slow pace and describes in detail. Excellent teacher.
perfect explanation... my rating increased even watching you talk
Haha, thanks a lot, great to hear this! :)
i love how u explain things from both sides....your a great communicator and teacher....will be looking for more of your analyses ..thks
thank you i add Sir
Glad you enjoy the videos, thank you for the suggestion!

@asmengistu Thank you for your kind words :) I definitely should have been clearer about a few points. I appreciate the feedback! -Dereque
Great work again! You're showing more and more with every video that I know nothing about chess and that all I was doing was guessing. That's a good thing, what you're doing!
Bookmarking this so I can refer back it when I need to.
Thank you for the video explaining many of the pitfalls to avoid.
Thank you!! :)
well the position in discussion is from Alekhine's defence.. which plays that way in the beginning (3 knight moves). It has been used in master games before.. I haven't seen 6. Ng5 in any master database however. And d5 I believe is one of the few good defensive moves for that position
exf7+ would appear to be a free pawn?
Thank you for the video. I am 1700+ on ICC and this is the first time I've seen the e6 idea in response to g7. very cool.
Thank you! Your videos are the bees knees!
You bet :)
RUYE LOPAZ was considered to be very best openings because it was played by Boby Fisher. Aelkeine was senior to him and at that time Capablanca was in the field. I also played that opening but game was heading longer and I don't had good moves.
But nothing can best Sicilian

Occasionally I overlook a comment, so even though it's long overdue...thank you!!
I am going to play against the alekhine in 15 minutes, thx for preparing me ;)
Congrats!! Hope it went well !:)
@@KebuChess hahahahaha 6 years later
:) What to do :)
great voice and beautiful smile!
Thank you......
I go to Dereque regularly as he is a character (rare in calculating chess minded folks) as well as logical understandable opening choices.
Haha, thank you, great to hear!
Yep. Also, at 4:30, instead of ..o-o, if black plays ...e6, isn't Ng5 refuted?
I think it's definitely under-estimated!
btw, I realize now it sounded like I wasn't grateful for the video. I really appreciate your videos, they are very helpful, thank you!
I'm fairly new to chess, and for some reason I am really drawn to this defense. But unless I am misunderstanding, it just seems really easy for white to gain an advantage. What am I missing about why this defense is even a thing?
At 5:07, what if black plays d5 in response to e6.
Thank you. I’m one of those odd people that really enjoy the Alekhine, Pirc, Benoni, Benko, Queens Indian, Dutch, etc.
Which oppening is better for black the scandanavian or tge alekhine
I went to a mall a few hours away from where I live and smack dab in the middle of it there was a huge chess club going on! I mean, there wasn't a lot of people, but we had state champions and such there. It was a lot of fun, but helped me realize how much I still have to improve... XD

I am beginning in chess like yours videos I find it more interesting
I love this opening
Thank You Dereque, easy to understand.
Thank you Charles!!
You're welcome, thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you very much Dereque! I played the most stupid opening I could figure out in tournament - Alekhine`s defense Scandinavian variation and barely got a draw. I wish I had watched this video previously.
+Esad Memmedov :) Thank you!
Asadulla Mammadov
Excellent explanation, thanks
What if at 01:15, white plays c4 instead of d5, to chase the knight around even more?=
Lucid as ever Dereque... a great introduction! :)
+Richard Lay :) Thank you!
I have a question though,
Why not, after (white) e-4, (black) f-6 (white) e-5 move your black knight to g4?
This way you attack white's pawn, and it will force white to either lose the pawn, or wreck open it's flank.
Now, I use this opening a lot and am winning quite much with it (it has to be noted that I have an ELO of only around 900 though..)
Qxg4 could happen here! This simply "drops" or gives up the knight...not to be recommended! Welcome to our royal game! :) And thank you for participating on the channel, I very much appreciate it!! :)
Great video. You didn't cover if white plays c4 as their 2nd move attacking the Knight again. Would this be a mistake for white?
How about ...Nxe4 there?
I've seen many variations in this modern opening. There is plenty of analysis to be made going forward. Kelley provided more than enough. I mean the video would be like 3 hrs if he was going to really get into a list of lines. 8D
Very comprehensive, good work!
Glad you liked it!
You're welcome!
@Dieter De Witte: :)
I play this and Latvian gambit as Black on bullet 's games
A very good and useful lesson!You cant play strong without opening preparation,can you?Alekhine is my favourite world champion!😃😃😃
Hope it went well! :)
You should discuss black moves more than white moves since u are talking about alekhine defence. Or just change the title to - Playing against Alekhine defence.
Poor Alekhine, his name was mispronounced in all sorts of ways :)
Hehehehhe :) I hope he's okay!
alcowine?
a-LEK-in-ay
a-LEK-in-ee
Al-uh-keen
stockfish recommends 2:c4 isnt it better to gain more tempo and space while kicking the knight further around ?
Makes it hard to develop white's light-square bishop though
Stockfish can not be trusted to be giving important suggestions at move two for a variety of reasons
Nice video with good explanation.... Thank you very much...
+Asiri Maduranga Thank you!
i'd prefer to trade black's bishop for white's knight. because that knight is a very strong. normally we don't want to trade bishops for knights. but not in this case i think.

What is response to four pawn attack
I am not greatly familiar with this topic to be honest and now is not a good time for me to do research! Investigate my paid private lessons option on chessopenings.com to find out more about how we could work together on this topic!
The exchange with 4. c4 Nb6 5. pxp is the most difficult for me to play against.
Interesting!
I'm not very good at chess, so this probably sounds really dumb... but what does black do if white plays 3.c4?
+T Is For AWESOME 3... Nb6
Excellent explanation!
Thank you, thank yoU! :)
Thanks for the video, it's very helpful to prepare against this opening.
Tremendous, thank you and much appreciated! :)
Very logical! I'm learning a lot from your videos. Thank you.
You bet!
Very c;ever analysis, well presented. But, Please lear how to pronounce the name of the grand master, it is Alehin, there is no "k" sound, at all
Thank you for the feedback and also for the very kind words! Much appreciated! :0
Capablance himself on a video on RUclips pronounced his name as Dr A-lek-een.
Hahaha :)
your analysis starting 4:10 is incomplete. Black is more than fine after the moves...
1. e4 Nf6
2. e5 Nd5
3. Nf3 g6
4. Bc4 Nb6
5. Bb3 Bg7
6. Ng5? d5 (instead of 0-0? .. 7. e6 f5 and black is not doomed)
.. this obvious move d5 defends well against premature attacking plans by white, where now Black has gained tempi and with focus on development, Black could easily have an advantage.

I watch this vido but
You have only few sub
And i was one of them
And how did you increase sub 😅😅
In Russian language the surname is pronounced as [alekheen]. [a] like "algorithm" and [ee] like "kindergarten".
Jeez. How hard is it to Google a pronunciation? It's al-YECH-in.
