1. You got the exploit the back rank weakness right away
2. h1-a8 is the Achille's heel. Try a subtle deviation

7. Alekhine started logically with move 1, but had a surprise on move 3
8. Black can combines threat and sacrifice his bishop at some point
9. Look to give checkmate by bringing the white king into the net
