Alekhine Defense: Hunt Variation
Overview
Alekhine Defense: Hunt Variation is a variation within the Semi-Open Games family, indexed as ECO B03.
The Semi-Open Games group covers semi-open games — replies to 1.e4 where Black declines the symmetrical 1…e5 in favour of an asymmetric pawn structure.
It begins with 9 plies and takes 1. e4 Nf6 2. e5 Nd5 3. d4 d6 4. c4 Nb6 5. c5 to reach the canonical position.
It is a variation of Alekhine Defense, which itself descends from the root opening King's Pawn Game.
