I thought I might share this (very dubious) idea I faced online against a number of Alekhine players.
It goes 1. e4 Nf6 2. e5 d5 (??!) - yes I know!!
After 3. exf6 (seems logical enough) then Black plays 3... e5 (?!) - is this what Black is trying to achieve with this piece gambit?

Doesn't seem worth the piece to get two centre pawns out. Especially as vital a piece as the KKt.
