I found myself in another alekhine's defense game. Again I was playing white. I responded differently this time, as I did'nt realize they wanted to play the alekhine. Sometimes I just don't recognize an opening for what it is. Can anyone tell me if there is a name for white's play in this game?
1. e4 Ng8f6 2. f3 e5 3. Ng1e2 g6 4. d4 Bf8g7 5. dxe5 Nf6h5 ...[text shortened]... f2 Qh4e7 9. gxh5 gxh5 10. Rh1g1 Qe7xe5 11. Bf2d4 Qe5a5
12. Bd4c3 Qa5c5 13. Rg1xg7 1-0

I didn't follow through the whole game, Nyxie, but in general playing f3 to defend against Nf6 is a poor idea. There's a potential Knight sac on e4 followed by Qh4+. I'd avoid using the fP to bolster your eP in the future. The diagonal that goes through f2 is open too if you decide to castle short.

Originally posted by AThousandYoungYeah there's been some discussions on my bad habit of moving my king bishop's pawn in games. I have for the most part stopped doing it. I did'nt consider the knight sacrifice on the kings pawn. That would have made for a rather intense game. I guess I was'nt really paying attention, I made my opening moves right before I went to bed.
