72. Four Pawns Attack in Alekhine’s Defence

Four Pawns Attack Sub Group (B09.027.AL – B09.035.AL) is the most aggressive and ambitious response to Alekhine’s Defence, beginning with 1.e4 Nf6 2.e5 Nd5 3.d4 d6 4.c4 Nb6 5.f4. White boldly claims maximum central space, aiming to overwhelm Black before they can organize counterplay.

This MICOS Sub Group, challenges conventional development with a powerful central pawn phalanx. White delays piece activity to dominate the center, while Black seeks dynamic countermeasures—often involving …dxe5, …g6 and targeting the overextended pawn chain.

The Four Pawns Attack is ideal for players who thrive on initiative, control and calculated risk. It demands sharp calculation, precise timing for breaks and readiness to sacrifice material for sustained pressure. Black must be prepared for tactical storms and must navigate development challenges without falling behind.

Whether you’re looking to punish passive lines or shake up your opponent’s preparation, the Four Pawns Attack turns Alekhine’s Defence into a battlefield where boldness and accuracy decide the outcome.
