Alekhine's gun is a formation in chess named after the former World Chess Champion, Alexander Alekhine. This formation was named after a game he played against Aron Nimzowitsch in San Remo 1930, ending with Alekhine’s decisive victory. The idea consists of placing the two rooks stacked one behind another and the queen at the rear. This can lead to massive damage to the opponent as it usually marks the beginning of the final assault (in this case it was only four moves before resignation). In rare cases it can be two queens and one rook on the same file.〔''Chess Life'', December 2008, p. 25; April 2009, p. 6〕 ==The original "Alekhine's gun" game== Here is the game that spawned Alekhine’s gun: Alexander Alekhine vs. Aron Nimzowitsch:〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Alexander Alekhine vs Aron Nimzowitsch, 1930 )〕 1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3.

However, some international games are still lost and won by the force of this tactic. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alekhine's gun」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
