7...c5 is actually the good book line for black. if white takes, then Nd7 and he can't save both. if he pushes, then e6! and white has some troubles.
A novelty in the Alekhine

I don't think u understood my point. White is better(+/= probably-normal opening advantage for white) after 10.d5. But, you acted like you lost because u blundered. But, acted as if you didn't get into a better position because of an opponents blunder(U "won" the exchange. But, your opponent didn't win a piece or whatever-u blundered-see the point)

I really don't see any reason not to play 6...c5. At best you'll get positions that probably aren't as good and at worst who knows what resorces you lose by not playing it.
I never said not to play the move. He seemed to think the move gave him an advantage though. Just giving my opinion of the resultant position. D5 is the natural move and dxc5 is pretty anti positional it seems. This is what heisman calls hope chess.

Jet if you want to get better in chess you need to lose that mind set.Dont play hope chess."I hope they dont know/see that".Its cool that you play the alek. just try to use more than data bases... use Books.Go over games.Buy the MCO.Look at you tube for instruction,type in alekhine defense and watch what they talk about WITH a board in front of you.You will get better faster.Good luck.If you need help in the future, I WILL HELP you...
well i accept your help
@erikido23: dude you need to look it up, it is extremly tactical, why else would black let white build up such a masive center if he doesnot want to destroy it

take a look at your rating take a look at mine. Not trying to be condescending. BUt, you don't understand what tactical or positional play is. Tactics and positional play is completely intertwined.
I said dxc5 was anti positional for WHITE. Please, listen.
Hi all, as some of you know, i am a big fan of the Alekhine defense, and love the tactical exploits of its variations. I am here to announce that mayby there is a strange move out there that might help Black destroy Whites pawn center
