If you go to Book Openings, and search for "Soltis" you will find an entry on the Yugoslav Attack, Soltis Variation (B79). Unfortunately, the variation is wrongly identified. The Soltis variation of the Yugoslav attack starts with:

1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 g6 6.Be3 Bg7 7.f3 0-0 8.Qd2 Nc6 9.Bc4 Bd7 10.0-0-0 Rc8 11.Bb3 Ne5 12.h4 h5

See, for example:

http://www.jeremysilman.com/book_reviews_js/js_soltis_var_yugo_attack.html

Or, in Wikpedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sicilian_Defence,_Dragon_Variation

But in the Chess.com opening explorer, we are shown a variation with 10.Qa5, and it's identified as "Soltis Variation" which is not correct.

I hope someone can update the Opening Explorer to correct this inaccuracy.
