This is a collection of 417 puzzles taken from the first 20 moves of Alekhine's Defense chess opening play. Each puzzle represents a stratagem nearly unique to the opening. A diagram marks the point of the critical position in the game. The remainder of the game along with variant solutions is found at the end of the book and is accompanied by a copy of the diagram. If you've ever wondered why Napoleon played this opening, this book will be for you.
