123. Alekhine Defence in Queen’s Gambit Accepted

 

Alekhine Defence Sub Group (D02.018.QA – D02.021.QA) arises after 1.d4 d5 2.c4 dxc4 3.Nf3 a6, where Black temporarily concedes the center to gain queenside flexibility and delay commitments. The move …a6 prepares …b5 in many lines, aiming to hold the extra pawn or force White to invest time in recovery.

This MICOS Sub Group covers practical and dynamic continuations in which White balances development against immediate central action, while Black seeks counterplay through queenside expansion and piece activity. The positions often become asymmetrical early, rewarding accurate timing and strategic judgment.

The Alekhine Defence suits players who value flexibility, counterplay, and practical imbalance, offering a fighting alternative to more classical Queen’s Gambit structures.
