4 pawn variation with c5

Hi , After having a lot of time at the moment , I decided to burn it with retaking chess after a 10 year break.

One of my favourite defences is the Alekhine.I started to read some chessbooks again and I stumbled on this bold move for black : 6. ... c5.

Isn't Nf6 a fuck off to white in the first place? Well , then c5 is another oneSmile

it creates some heavy fireworks on the board with razorsharp positions where the evaluation is unclear. Every minor glitch can turn the game into a rollercoaster of events that lead to disaster.

this is the main line

black sacrafieces a pawn , but get's a playable position where a man to man fight will  determine the winner

I made a mistake , it's the following line where blacks queen is trapped , with black having enough compensation

I currently have Starting Out :Alekhine's defence , but I might get Alekhine Alert.

After 7. d5 white should be punished for advancing the pawn with 9... Qh4+ which cannot be blocked with 10. g3 because of 10... Qxe4+ and black takes the white rook on h1.

Hi I play this line myself! It is a ton of fun, everyone should check it out, I played a very very fun 3+0 game in it yesterday!, most of the time I get that one line where you take the rook with your queen, and if they trap the queen it is really much easier for black, since you have nice pawns, castling, and all the pieces.
