Alekhine's Defence

[edit | edit source]

At that point, it's unwise for White to take the d6 pawn, which means giving up the space advantage and allowing Black to build his own pawn center.

While 4. c4 is tempting, the modern variation 4. Nf3 gets better results, making harder for Black to equalize.
