e-book The New Sicilian Dragon

Whatever you do, you have learn all the alternative lines. In the Yugoslav, don't neglect Black's alternatives to Bd7, some of them are fun and White is generally unprepared! Here's a blitz game of mine which shows how even a patzer like me can follow the sac, sac, mate formula. Fritz's analysis awarded me three exclamation marks Yugoslav Attack, Miscellaneous 1.

Qa5 is no salvation Qc5 does not help much Rxh5 Kg7 [ Demolition of pawn structure Demolishes the pawn shield. Kf6 does not solve anything Qxa8 b5 [ Qc8 the last chance for counterplay I know that they prefer the Najdorf but i'd expected them to play it more often than 2 games out of ! I don't really like the Yugoslav attack and have lost quite a lot of games with it.. The Yugoslav attack in the hands of a master is truly something to be feared.

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. It's usually hard for white to win most game I have seen are draws. Blacks pawn structure is really good in the endgame in the dragon.

Alot of top Gms know how to play dragon. I am sure you can find Ivanchuk, Topalov, and Aronian games in chessbase database. The Sicilian Dragon is the favorite rebellious defense, leading to brawling, Fischer-styled games. 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. Let anyone dare say that the dragon is slain -- he will be proven wrong sooner than he thinks!

Yes, it seems that castling long is inferior. Always nice to answer your own post s! What are you talking about, wannabe?

Oh, now I see. It's usually hard for White to get meaningful open files for his Rooks. This variation is very aggressive just like my style of play. Adding to my previous comment, it's not my true favorite opening like the Old Indian Defense or favorite Sicilian Variation like the Najdorf.

Actually, I'm starting to like this as my favorite Sicilian. I've struggled more with the Najdorf. Especially if you can spell it properly. Bibs God Member Offline Posts: Interested in playing chess online? We will have a few public events that you will enjoy!

Like and follow to stay updated: McDonalds book has not recived high reviews. It can form a backbonde of a repertour but reaseach are needed since there are several holes or sometimes does not go particellery far or detailed but on the other hand, writing a 1 e4 white book when open sicilian is a part of it is difficult to do in one single volume. Since I don't have Khalifman nor Williams' books nor Martin's DVD, this is useful for me to check with the actual game and try to decipher what had happened.

And thanks for the tip on McDonald's book. Some thought about g5 Nh5 a4 line [Event "?

Chess Developments: The Sicilian Dragon

Nothing to do so I took a closer look at the game. Kf2 seems like a novelty but not a particellry strong. Black coudld have played both Be5 Since f4 is impossiolbe and Nd5 is meet by e6. After Be5 black can in some line play Ne6 with a grip at f4 square but Qc8 as played was quite strong if black had choosen a different follow up. After 17 b4 black should have played e5 leeding to an unclear play Rybka slighlty favors black but the position is a mess.

Here is the pgn of the game: Kc6 And Thanks bragesjo.
