I like attacking the center wi/ my c pawn, plus most players that I play are unfamiliar with it. It also gives me more manuevering ability

I used to play it because I like playing the English as white, and the dragons are basically that reversed (I liked the accelerated). I don't play it much anymore, but it is fun.

Accelerated Dragon by Jeremy Silman
When I'm in a mood for a bloody chess, i play the normal dragon. However most of the time when facing tough opponents, I prefer the Accelerated Dragon. I don't usually play it anymore because of some annoying anti-sicilians. so I shifted to Gubnitsky-Pytel Variation of the Scandinavian Defense
Deranged
I used to until I realised that the sozin was a lot better. And now I moved to caro-kann :)

Hmm, hard to play the Sozin with black though. Do you mean the Najdorf?
Atos
Yeah, how do you switch from Dragon to Sozin exactly ?
What deranged meant I think is he deviated from using the Sicilian altogether because of White's Sozin attack. In my opinion the Sozin attack doesnt cause Black much trouble as the Yugoslav Attack.
Have been playing the normal Dragon for years and not too bothered with playing against Sozin. The Yugoslav Attack made me switched to Hyper Accelerated Dragon ( see related topic on my chess blog: http://mychesspet.blogspot.com/2009/11/draft-why-play-accelerated-dragon.html)
