to alex f. If the line with d5, Kb1 bothers you, and it should, It IS good for white, try playing Nxd4 followed by Be6. Or there is a line w Bd7 that is not as bad as people think. or, instead of Nf5 w the queen sac, try Nxf3. These are all playable lines of the dragon. and remember, there is NO opening, if played properly, that doesn't give white some advantage...

Awesome!

I prefer the accelerated dragon

i do really agree that the dragon yugoslav attack give both players equal chances because its full of tactical ideas along the way.

Being a dragon player, I have to say that I find 10.Kb1 after 9...d5 to give me the most trouble. After the simplifications and the resulting R+B for a Q position, I always have little to no chances for a win. Since I play the dragon to get wins with black, it really bothers me to play this line.

Any thoughts on this line?

In response to demetrios, unfortunately you are completely as is stated in the article the Yugoslav attack is still very unclear and fascinating to play/analyse

Nice

nice work

beautiful :)

this was so amazing!!!!! im a faithful dragon user... this will improve my gameplay a lot! thanks!

Kasparov's treatment of the dragon as black and white should be the starting point.
