Alekhine's Defence is one of the most provocative openings at the black's disposal, ideal for tournament players looking for exciting games. All the important variations are covered in this book which uses a variety of illustrative games to demonstrate the key concepts. Many of these games are from Alburt's own practice of the Alekhine, in which he is an experienced exponent. Lev Alburt is the current US Champion and Eric Schiller is a US Master and author of a number of books on this subject area.
