Alekhine's Defence
[edit | edit source]Black would very much like to put pressure on the d-pawn with ...Nc6 and ...Bg7. Playing 6...Nc6 now however runs into d4-d5, maybe even on the next move, and the knight will find itself kicked around the board. So Black is in most games patient, and plays 6...g6 to prepare 7...Bg7.
