interest game on Sicilian Accelerated Dragon
I'm really interested in this variation as both black and white. I've noticed that strong GM's like Carlsen, Radjabov and others will use the Accelerated Dragon and still end up in Sicilian Dragons that go into Yugoslav attack's anyways. Is there some sideline that the bishop on g7 disallows until the kinght comes to f6?
Not accelerated dragon. But hyper accelerated dragon disallows the feared Rossolimo.
