Alekhine's gun
Compiled by Penguincw
--*--

"QRR" means the queen is in front of the 2 rooks. Games are not in order by date. Only first instance of Alekhine's Gun is noted (per side). For this collection, I am treating the RRQ/RQR Alekhine's Gun as different from QRR, even though they're all Alekhine's gun.

As of the first 53 games in this collection, the side that deploys Alekhine's gun is 35.5/50 (+28,-7,=15). (there are three games where both sides deployed it, with one ending in 0-1 and 2 ending in 1/2-1/2)

Not included in this collection (at least yet) is this game, with 27..Rd3. Features a sideway Alekhine's gun along a rank. McShane vs Kuzubov, 2019
