TRANSPOSITION
ALEKHINE'S DEF. to SICILIAN DEF. (Alapin V.)

White set his QBP on QB3(c3) to support 4.P-Q4 - a rare move, as failure to attack the knight or take control of QB5(c5) risks a Sicilian in reply.
Black transposes into the Alapin variation of the Sicilian Defence by advancing his QBPawn to QB4(c5) ready to meet a likely 4.P-Q4.
