Introduction to the Four Pawns Attack




Alekhine’s Defence Four Pawns Attack Main Line
The position after 15.Qg4(diagram) is the starting point for theoretical debate.

15.Qg4

GM Svidler won an important game for Alekhine theory in 2009, upholding the soundness of Alekhine's Defence. I had checked the game before but now the analysis has been updated.

My overall conclusion is the same, the Four Pawns Attack main line with 15.Qg4 is not a threat to black.
