A Short King Walk - Nigel Short vs Jan Timman 1991

One of the most famous king walk games in chess came from the encounter between Nigel Short and Jan Timman in 1991. How would Short reply when Timman opts for the atypical Alekhine's Defense?  Could an enemy queen scare the king off his path? What conditions would be necessary for the king walk to be a success during an atypical phase of the game?

I'm a self-taught National Master in chess out of Pennsylvania, USA who was introduced to the game by my father in 1988 at the age of 8. The purpose of this channel is to share my knowledge of chess to help others improve their game. I enjoy continuing to improve my understanding of this great game, albeit slowly.
