Hello. I am trying to get experience in playing the black side of the alekhine defense so I made an open challenge with that as the opening theme. I have done this several times and I always title the game alekhine. Why do you think people then accept my alekhine challenge to immidetly transpose into the four knights? If they didn't want to play against the alekhine why accept the challenge???

I don't really mind playing in the four knights, I need experince against that also, as in a real game my opponet very well might transpose into that after all. It just bugs me. Oh well.

2...d5 is fine for Black, despite of the aphorism in Taylor's book. No need to go for 2...e5.
