Melonggarkan pertahanan - apabila ada buah lawan yang mengawal banyak buah lain. Melemahkan serangan - menyebabkan lawan kekurangan buah untuk menyerang.
meriam Alekhine
Bateri tiga serangkai boleh dibina dengan menteri (permaisuri) dan kedua-dua tir. Ini dikenali sebagai <anchor>meriam Alekhine</anchor> (rajah di kanan) dan amat berbahaya. Adalah menguntungkan untuk meletakkan menteri di belakang salah satu atau kedua-dua tir kerana ia lebih berharga.

Position after 26.Qc1

**Alekhine's gun** is a formation in [chess](/wiki/Chess "Chess") named after the former [world chess champion](/wiki/World_Chess_Championship "World Chess Championship") [Alexander Alekhine](/wiki/Alexander_Alekhine "Alexander Alekhine"). It is a specific kind of [battery](/wiki/Battery_(chess) "Battery (chess)"). This formation was named after a game he played against [Aron Nimzowitsch](/wiki/Aron_Nimzowitsch "Aron Nimzowitsch") in [Sanremo](/wiki/Sanremo "Sanremo") 1930, ending with Alekhine's decisive victory.

This article uses [algebraic notation](/wiki/Algebraic_notation_(chess) "Algebraic notation (chess)") to describe chess moves.

## Concept

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=Alekhine%27s_gun&action=edit&section=1 "Edit section: Concept")\]

The idea consists of placing the two [rooks](/wiki/Rook_(chess) "Rook (chess)") stacked one behind another and the [queen](/wiki/Queen_(chess) "Queen (chess)") at the rear. This can lead to substantial material loss for the opponent as it places considerable pressure on the "target" of the gun, especially if it is pinned (in this case it was only four moves before [resignation](/wiki/Glossary_of_chess#resign "Glossary of chess")).

## Original "Alekhine's gun" game

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=Alekhine%27s_gun&action=edit&section=2 "Edit section: Original \"Alekhine's gun\" game")\]

Here is the game that spawned Alekhine's gun:

Alexander Alekhine vs. Aron Nimzowitsch, San Remo 1930:

**1\. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 Bb4 4. e5 c5 5. Bd2 Ne7 6. Nb5 Bxd2+ 7. Qxd2 0–0 8. c3 b6 9. f4 Ba6 10. Nf3 Qd7 11. a4 Nbc6 12. b4 cxb4 13. cxb4 Bb7 14. Nd6 f5 15. a5 Nc8 16. Nxb7 Qxb7 17. a6 Qf7 18. Bb5 N8e7 19. 0–0 h6 20. Rfc1 Rfc8 21. Rc2 Qe8 [?](/wiki/Chess_annotation_symbols#? "Chess annotation symbols") 22\. Rac1 Rab8 23. Qe3 Rc7 24. Rc3 Qd7 25. R1c2 Kf8 26. Qc1** (see diagram; this is the point at which Alekhine forms the gun) **Rbc8 27. Ba4** (threatening 28.b5, winning the [pinned](/wiki/Pin_(chess) "Pin (chess)") knight) **b5 28. Bxb5 Ke8 29. Ba4 Kd8** (guarding c7, so that the knight can move away on 30.b5) **30\. h4 [!](/wiki/Chess_annotation_symbols#! "Chess annotation symbols")** (but now all Black's pieces are committed to the defence against the gun, and he is running out of moves) **h5 31. Kh2 g6 32. g3** ( _[zugzwang](/wiki/Zugzwang "Zugzwang")_) **[1–0](/wiki/Algebraic_notation_(chess)#1–0 "Algebraic notation (chess)")**[\[1\]](#cite_note-Alekhine_vs_Nimzowitsch_on_chessgames.com-1)

## Other games

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=Alekhine%27s_gun&action=edit&section=3 "Edit section: Other games")\]

Six years later, in 1936, Alekhine defeated [William Winter](/wiki/William_Winter_(chess_player) "William Winter (chess player)") using Alekhine's gun again.[\[2\]](#cite_note-Winter_vs_Alekhine_on_chessgames.com-2) Since then, players have learned much about using and guarding against this formation; however, some international games are still lost or won by the force of this [tactic](/wiki/Chess_tactics "Chess tactics"). In November 2018 it was successfully used by [Ju Wenjun](/wiki/Ju_Wenjun "Ju Wenjun") against [Kateryna Lagno](/wiki/Kateryna_Lagno "Kateryna Lagno") in game 4 of the [FIDE](/wiki/FIDE "FIDE") [Women's World Championship](/wiki/Women%27s_World_Chess_Championship_2018_(November) "Women's World Chess Championship 2018 (November)").[\[3\]](#cite_note-Lagno_vs_Wenjun_on_chessgames.com-3) The attack could have been refuted with perfect defense, but Lagno was unable to find it and resigned five moves later. Ju Wenjun went on to win the match and with it the title.

## In popular culture

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=Alekhine%27s_gun&action=edit&section=4 "Edit section: In popular culture")\]

The video game _[Alekhine's Gun](/wiki/Alekhine%27s_Gun_(video_game) "Alekhine's Gun (video game)")_ is named after this chess formation.
