I would say that 1...e5 is better. Here's a helpful link: http://chesswinning.com/10-best-chess-openings/

ye. nimzodynov told once it should be named as king hunt defense rather alekhine defense. after that that game it used to be considered it is unplayable for black. otherwise it is the best defense for black hoping that your opponents do not know those lines .
can anyone share the game what i am pointing at i do not have the database ?

That the Sicilian Defense is played so often is even more of an incentive for one to incorporate the Alekhine into their arsenal. Not only would you be able to spring a theoretically sound, sharp opening on unsuspecting players (who've spent all their time analyzing the openings that their opponents do play), but it would force your opponents to, in the future, take time out from their normal prep in order to prepare an opening you may or may not even use for that match.

But that's just not true - I understand that it seems as though it's a liability, but the truth is that the Alekhine is every bit as sound as 1...e5. Though it does in fact lose 10 -15 centipawn - that's hardly anything two moves into the opening, and even the Sicilian loses about the same centipawn compared to 1...e5. Then you consider you're taking white out of his comfort zone and the fact that it's very easy for white to mess up. It may not be as classically rooted, but it's a good opening move and scores well for black at master level and above.
Does it worse to learn, since I am now at 1100 Blitz and people here are not following any common lines and blundering everygame

So i guess u mean one of these 2 games against Mikenas :
These games are impressive (Nezhmet's style!), but u know, black found solutions since 70 years...

Alekhine's Defense is a defense by Black, which is the move 1...Nf6. This move attacks the e4 pawn, but, if White moves his pawn to e6, now Black's knight has been attacked, and now has to run around the board. The three main goals of the opening are:
- Develop your pieces (minor pieces first)
- Control the center (e4, d4, d5, e5)
- Castle
But one of the other, secondary rules of the opening, is:
- DON'T MOVE YOUR PIECES TWICE!
Alekhine's defense is an OK opening for Black, but I think much better for black would be 1...e5.
Every rule has it's exception.
But one of the other, secondary rules of the opening, is:
Moving the knight twice is fine in this case, because white breaks that principle first, by moving the e-pawn twice.
