here's a game I played recently featuring Alekhine's guns...I don't think I managed to take advantage of it fully though...my opponent played a good defense...even though I outplayed him later in the endgame.both kings were under attack so it was an exciting game.

great example I even learned a new way of playing it.

of course there are other ways in setting it up,but the R-Q-R configuration is considered optimal in general.also,it's difficult to set it up cause often times opponent makes threats and you're tempted to react to their every move,thus delaying the set-up.I compromised a little of my king safety to set it up.
