Alekhine's Gun is a third-person stealth game. The title comes from the chess formation named after the former World Chess Champion, Alexander Alekhine. The protagonist is Semyon Strogov, referred to as Agent Alekhine. Alekhine is a KGB agent recruited by the CIA. The game takes place primarily during the 1960s period of the Cold War, with flashback missions set in World War II. The game features 11 levels which are set in Austria, Cuba, Florida, Germany, New York City, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, and Texas. Each level is described as being non-linear in design, featuring multiple ways of completing tasks. The plot features around historical events such as the Bay of Pigs Invasion and the assassination of US President John F. Kennedy. The game allows players to choose between straightforward shootouts or more subtle stealth-orientated gameplay with the use of items such as poison and garottes and by staging 'accidents'. Each mission can be replayed differently to improve the player's performance. At the end of each level the player receives a different ranking depending on their style of play such as 'Maniac' or 'Ghost'. They are also graded on 'Noise', 'Violence', 'Accuracy' and 'Professionalism'. In addition points are awarded which can be used to buy or upgrade weapons and equipment.
