Alekhine Defence Light Squares

Jeffrey Baffo has included the Queens Knights Attack 1.Nc3 in his repertoire for many years. This game transposed into the Alekhine Defence that resembles a Scandinavian 2.Nc3 d4 line. Black's dark-squared bad bishop became completely useless. White attacked on the light squares and won a queen.
