	If nothing else works, a total pig-headed unwillingness to look facts in the face will see us through.

This is only for people who play chess in a very inverted fashion and don't mind memorizing reams of theory in preparation for losing. Likewise the Gruenfeld. The Alekhine is easy to learn and can be played with a minimum of theoretical knowledge. The opening does, however, not cause white headaches. Thanks. I see that I will have to be more obvious when I attempt ironic humor -- I play these defenses, you see. But seriously, while I suppose I agree that Alekhine's "can be played" with a modicum if not a minimum of theoretical knowledge, I think that if someone wants to be well-prepared there's actually quite a bit of Alekhine theory that he needs to know. One of the main problems for Black is that in many lines, White has a vast range of alternatives. Also I would like to think that Alekhine's is capable of causing White headaches, at least at the board.

	1. Nimzo/Sicilian 2. Benko/Petrov

	I know I've made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal. I've still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the mission.
