Greetings chess friends!

Today's topic is in response to chessman_calum's comment/request from my previous blog post, Hyper Accelerated Dragon: White's Death By Simplification (where the Bc4 mainline was analyzed), that I should include an analysis on white's early exchange of knights on c6-square (5.Nxc6).

No problem, my friend chessman_calum, let us scrutinize the position arising from 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 g6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nc6 5.Nxc6 below:

Ehr! What's with this white knight taking on c6? This reminds me of a story about a knight who is a bit too sea-sick (sounds like c6) to slay a mighty dragon! Yes, reminds me also of the song that goes like this: "Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea and frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Hannalee..."

As dragon wielders facing 5.Nxc6 should we get worried or maybe just laugh our guts out singing? Let's find out .... [ continued here ]

This post was very instructive to me! I recently was confronted with 5. Nxc6 and to be quite honest I wasn't exactly sure how to proceed. The game is still ongoing and in fact I have a less than great position.

Wish I had read this thread before that game started!!

Thanks again for this :)
