Miniature #7: To Break or or Not to Break? (Alekhine Defense)
In this 3/2 blitz game on chess.com I am faced with a decision to break in the center or not. Ultimately I decide that since I was slightly better developed the tactics would likely favor me to push in the center and I think this game illustrates just how good things can go since it ended in 11 moves!
But in addition to demonstrating how to punish the game losing blunder, we look at some critical variations that result when you choose to break through at a good moment.
I hope you enjoy! Full analysis in the video!
