Sharp lines and cursing follow this variation of the sicilian.  Come and explore the "Dragon" and the wonder/disappointment it can bring.  Come one, come all and don't forget to bring your friends....

Maybe so, Brian, but you had an edge on me for most of the game! I did the analysis afterwards, and all you had to do was get your king into safety and I would have been in trouble!
