My Chess Game Collection #91. Alekhine's Defense: Balogh Variation
Click and watch the game in GIF file! I played with Whites on 03/18/2020. Whites were surprise by the Black's use of the Alekhine's Defense. Whites sacrificed a Bishop in order to have a weak Black King and blacks could not control the game since then

Hey, your animated gif doesn't show a game which starts with the Alekhine's Defence (while the pgn file does), please correct ...
Thanks for the observation. Mistake corrected
