It's pretty hard to set up, because people just won't let you. 😛
No, alekhine's gun = queen and 2 rooks in a line:

Originally posted by briancronThe queen is generally consider best in back, because there is not worry of trading rook for queen.
I think the Queen belong in the middle most times.
The first rook to break thru and then the Queen can dart in with support.
Obviously, it all depends on the situation.

It does depend on the situation, that is, if the queen is best in middle or at rear. I read one book that suggests middle is best.
