Alekhine Defence Declined?

You play e4 and black plays Nf6 inviting e5 for the Alekhine Defence. Do you play along or annoy them with Nc3?

You can annoy them most with 2 e5.
2 Nc3 allows them to transpose to the Vienna with 2...e5.

1) e4 Nf6 I will play 2) e5 because 2) Nc3 Black can transpose into a Vienna Game with 2)...e5 and I'm not happy because on 1) e4 e5 I want to play a Ruy Lopez and I don't like 1) e4 Nf6 2) Nc3 d5

I had a game where my horse was royally chased around the board. I'm surprised that after trading knights the eval was close to zero, considering none of my pieces or pawns have moved.

Yes, but the pawns are floating around nearly unprotected.

Those that don't want to play the Black side of the Vienna will often play 2...d5, crossing into Scandinavian Territory (the lines that begin 1.e4 d5 2.Nc3).

I think both defenses are garbage, so I am not the one to ask for advice on how to play the 2...d5 lines. I would take White all day, and did play that position many times in 2007 when I played 1.Nc3. Against 1...Nf6, I played 2.g4, the Tubingen Gambit, which could transpose to the Bronstein Gambit after 2...Nxg4 3.e4 d6 4.Be2 Nf6 5.d4.

However, I would get that position via 1.Nc3 d5 2.e4 Nf6.

And also, there is no such thing as "declining" the Alekhine. White was never offered anything. You are not "offering" a move to White. You are trying to "entice" a move out of White which he does not play. Gambits and Enticement tactics are two totally different things.

Also common is 3.e5 d4 4.Nce2 Ne4

"I had a game where my horse was royally chased around the board."
++ 2 e5 is logical to chase Nf6 away. 3 c4 is logical too to chase the knight out of the center and to the poor square b6. 4 c5 is not logical as it brings the knight back to the center.

I always play e5. No one gets to use my own most-played defense against myself! Prepare for war!
