The Dragon Variation of the Sicilian Defence is 1 e4 c5 2 Nf3 d6 3 d4 cd4 4 Nd4 Nf6 5 Nc3 g6.

  Black will place his bishop on g7 ( this type of bishop maneuver is called a fianchetto ).  Play is usually tactical and dangerous.

The main line goes 6 Be3 Bg7 7 f3 Nc6 8 Qd2 0-0.  Now white has a choice between 9 0-0-0 ( this notation refers to castling long side ) or 9 Bc4.
