@The_Picard_Maneuver

would need to look them up

yeah that's why I like Alekhine in particular. I'm a patzer and too old/lazy to learn theory myself, so I like it when no one else has either.

This is a nice little intro to the main lines. Super fun opening as black.

Thanks, bookmarking this! I know I've seen it show up on the info block to the right of the board while playing before, so I bet this will feel familiar, but I can't remember if it's been my opponents or me (accidentally) doing it.

@The_Picard_Maneuver I think that's what led me to it, seeing it mentioned.

I was like "hmm, the computer thinks I'm doing a thing! What is this thing..?"
