In the Alekhine's Defence...

Black allows White to make several attacks on the knight

He replies by moving his Knight here

White moves Queen’s pawn forward

Black responds by moving this pawn

White wants to chase Black knight all over the board

Black Knight retreats here

And attacks this pawn

White moves this pawn

Controlling the center

Black can now attack White’s overextended pawns

White captures on g5

Black exchanges this pawn

And takes White Queen

White takes Black Queen

White now has three weak pawns

And his King can no longer castle
