If you already have a username, WTHarvey: Here's a collection of 84 traps in the B70 Dragon: What's the winning move? Tigranny: Actually, I'm starting to like this as my favorite Sicilian.

Tigranny: Adding to my previous comment, it's not my true favorite opening like the Old Indian Defense or favorite Sicilian Variation like the Najdorf. Tigranny: This variation is very aggressive just like my style of play. It's usually hard for White to get meaningful open files for his Rooks. JimВ Bartle: What are you talking about, wannabe? Let anyone dare say that the dragon is slain - he will be proven wrong sooner than he thinks!Д¬actus: Yes, it seems that castling long is inferior. It is highly complicated by black's g7 bishop, whose placement requires extra tempi, but proves to be a powerful long term weapon, especially if white should be arrogant enough to castle long. Supergrandmaster: The Sicilian Dragon is the favorite rebellious defense, leading to brawling, Fischer-styled games. I am sure you can find Ivanchuk, Topalov, and Aronian games in chessbase database.

Kelvieto: Alot of top Gms know how to play dragon. Blacks pawn structure is really good in the endgame in the dragon.ДЄlexanderMorphy: well when was the last time the yugoslav attack was seen in a major tournament? Russep: It's usually hard for white to win most game I have seen are draws. Rc3 sack, if White manages to trade queens, how are the endgames for Black? From my experience, Black nearly has enough compensation for the exchange, but I don't know how this normally plays out.

I know that they prefer the Najdorf but i'd expected them to play it more often than 2 games out of 1000!ДЄlexanderMorphy: I don't really like the Yugoslav attack and have lost quite a lot of games with it.but i have been QUITE successful with the dragon and am wondering why it's not played more often at the highest level?Д«ob000: The Yugoslav attack in the hands of a master is truly something to be feared.ДanielBryant: After the.

In the Yugoslav, don't neglect Black's alternatives to 9.Bd7, some of them are fun and White is generally unprepared!ДЄdrianP: Here's a blitz game of mine which shows how even a patzer like me can follow the sac, sac, mate formula.ДЇritz's analysis awarded me three exclamation marks. Whatever you do, you have learn all the alternative lines. None of the anti-Sicilian systems are particularly scary these days, so nothing wrong with the traditional move order. You can avoid it with 1.e4 g6 2.d4 Bg7 3.Nf3/Nc3 c5, leading to very interesting and often unexplored lines. That was the title of the article, but a little work finds improvements for Black, already played! As for 2.g6 3.c3, it isn't a big deal for White. Wont White still be able to support his d pawn and establish a strong centre with pawns on e4 and d4?ДЄkashic: 2 g6 doesn't avoid c3 but if white were to play it he would have a hard time mantaining his classical centre.Д¬ornwallis: hey eddy dearings new book on the dragon is out great book practically refutes the open sicilianД¬ornwallis: nice to know that tere are a lot of other dragoneers like me out thereД®ricВ Schiller: The 10.Qa5 line is not refuted.
