Alekhine Defense: White's repertoire
1. e4 Nf6 2. e5 Nd5 3. d4 d6 4. c4 Nb6 5. exd6 cxd6 6. Nc3 g6
White will proceed with Be3,Rc1 and b3 while Black is putting his bishop on g7
7. Be3 Bg7 8. Rc1 O-O 9b3
Here we are at a crossroads.
Black can play 9..Nc6 which White should reply with 10 d5!
or Black can play directly 9..e7-e5 leading to an ending after 10 de5
Here's the position after 9..e5, where White should take on e5
And here the position after 9..Nc6 10 d5! (as 10 Be2 allows 10..d5 or 10..e5 with idea Bg4 and Nd4 if white pushes d5 )
