This 7.e6 move is known in normal chess here as the refutation of 5...Nc6, I remember learning that over half a century ago, but this doesn't tell us anything about whether it is good or bad at knight odds.
Yes, I vaguely remember that too, but I used to play earlier g6 in this Alekhine, but then went off g6 for reasons lost in the mists of time. I discounted e6 on grounds “not a computer move”. Good move in the circumstances.
I can only see that it will take quite some effort to mobilize the Black pieces, whereas all of White pieces are FREE to move and start to cause real pressure, and of course all top 4 engines are very dangerous when their pieces are free to move in any directions. At some point Chrisw will be forced to trade a piece for two pawns to free his other pieces, but unless Chrisw is of the same strength of Fruit 2.2.1 or close to i,t my money is on Dragon 2 MCTS.
Do NOT worry and be happy, we all live a short life

My analysis is that white will generate pressure, but it won't be enough to compensate for being so far down in material. When the attack finally falters, black will have a piece and at least one (maybe two) extra pawns.

No.

Your brain doesn't work the way you want, so train it!

I think it is unfair that Chessqueen and towforce post comments about the game.
These comments may change the result of the game.
I have tried to make my comments as general and as unhelpful as possible (not that I'm a good enough player to help either of these two players), but for the integrity of the game I will now stop doing even that.
