In my teens I read a lot of chess books and thought I at least knew the names of the different elements of the game such as; the pin, the blockade, and so on. Today I learned something new. Stacking the Rooks on a file with the Queen on the same file behind them has been named "Alekhine's Gun". In the diagram below White has achieved "Alekhine's Gun".
Wikipedia and
Chess.Com both have articles on "Alekhine's Gun" and use as an example Alekhine vs Nimzovitch - San Reno 1930. Editor's note: the Wikipedia link will not take you directly to the article but you can find it from there.
Alexander Alexandrovich Alekhine 4th World Chess Champion

I'm not sure where I first heard of this. I have several of Sierawan's books that mention this. It may have been "Winning Chess Tactics" by Sierawan.
Alekine's gun is often used to illustrate the principle that pieces are more effective in a battery if they are placed in order starting with the least valuable. This works because you don't want to make a losing exchange to start a series of trades.
