Oh Yeah! Love to play against the Alekhine Defence. From the Gate; Black is willing to give up the Center, Space, Tempo and Development! Hard to get all that even with your best Gambit!
Look at this Club Tournament game played at another Site recently.
yeah but wat if they play 2)...e5 or 2)...d6 instead of 2)...d5?

f4 would be Killer!
Very nice kosmeg... although your endgame play won that game! I love playing with the White pieces also against this Defence. I really Can't understand why anyone would like this Defence short of Masochism! I guess I'm just not wired that way.
why not 31. .. pxr for black?
I play the Alekhine a bunch. I have been caught with and use the Krejcik variation a bunch in blitz games. If you play blitz games then this is a variation you should at least know. In the end the game will be even point wise but the king will have moved and tucked badly in the kingside. Look at these games to see what I mean:
Wow... What a difference! Maybe that is good for Blitz, that I never play.
Notice how my Games I get the Big Pawn Center and in your Games Black gets that advantage! Like watching opposite openings.
Does anyone have a nice aggresive line against the alekhine?>
