I have a secret weapon against programs playing the Alekhine. Some progs (or
their books resp.) avoid the line, but most of the others are in danger to play
either 7...Kxg5?? in the side variation, or 9...Qc6?? like in the game below.
This works often, at least at faster time controls - but 5.Bxf7+ is not correct,
because black can i.e. play 9...Bxe6 with big advantage.

[Event "40/20:00 P133"]
[Site "?"]
[Date "1998.??.??"]
[Round "?"]
[White "Scheidl, M."]
[Black "Genius3"]
[Result "1-0"]
[ECO "B02"]

1. e4 Nf6 2. e5 Nd5 3. Nf3 d6 4. Bc4 Nb6 5. Bxf7+ Kxf7 6. Ng5+ Kg8 (6... Kg6 7.
Qf3 Kxg5 8. Qf7 g6 9. d3+ Kh5 10. Qf4 h6 11. g3 Bg4 12. h3 Qd7 13. hxg4# {
1-0 Scheidl,M-Genius4 40/20:00 P133 1998}) 7. Qf3 Qe8 8. e6 g6 9. Nf7 Qc6 10.
Nh6+ Kg7 11. Qf7+ Kxh6 12. d3+ Kh5 13. g4+ Kh4 14. Rg1 Qd5 15. Nd2 Qe5+ 16.
Kf1 Nc4 17. Nf3+ Kh3 18. Nxe5 Ne3+ 19. Bxe3 dxe5 20. Qf3+ Kxh2 21. Qh1# 1-0

Btw. the position after 6...Kg6 7.Qf3 is a nice test I think:
[D]rnbq1b1r/ppp1p1pp/1n1p2k1/4P1N1/8/5Q2/PPPP1PPP/RNB1K2R b KQ - 0 7
Black should play 7...Qe8.

M.Scheidl
