TRANSPOSITION
ALEKHINE DEF. to SICILIAN DEF. (Nimzowitsch Var.)

White developed his KKt to support his frontier KP - a rarer move, as failing to attack the knight or take control of QB5(c5) risked a Sicilian in reply.
Black transposes into the Nimzo-Rubinstein variation of the Sicilian Defence by advancing his QBPawn to QB4(c5) to deter 4.P-Q4. B-Alt.
