Chess

I know he has a DVD for this

Great video!  I'm gonna watch part 2 and then watch them both again because there's a lot here!

Interestingly, the original game with 9..d5 actually resulted in white losing because he played the endgame poorly, even though Roman says its totally winning for white. Learning from this is that end games can be extremely complex even at GM levels.

minkman5052 your opponent played very poorly he does not fully now how to play the dragon

Thanks. Has halped a lot.

After white plays Bxa7 instead of Ra8 why not Rb7??

Really cool stuff. It's always fascinating to see a grandmaster play out, pretty much an entire game's worth of opening theory for a given variation, with such a high quality of moves. I've never analyzed the dragon, so it was interesting to watch the kind of play that can come out of it.

Great stuff

didn't think g4 was a good move...i was wrong

beat d dragon!

After white 9. o-o-o, how does one proceed if black plays 9...Ne5?  I played 10. h4, but I think that 10. g4 might have been better.  What do you think?

The game proceeded:

Speaking of which, the line he shows I actually play against Kb1, sweet, I was spot on.

Ive never lost a real tournament game in the dragon...it is unstoppable

hehe beat the dragon

*bop*

Intresting to whatch for me as a dragon player. :D

In one game i played my opponent (rated around 300 points higher than me) played the dragon, but i was ready! After a slugfest he was up a WHOLE ROOK! But was lost! i had opened the infamous "h-file" for my queen, at first he was excited about his tacctics, but then realize after around a minute (it was a live game) that he was totally lost! THANK YOU FISCHER! (i learned of the h-file attack from fischer-larsen in "my 60 memorable games") oh ya, and great post! i might use that in a corr. game i'm playing right now!=)

This does not show that White is better - it shows that the position is complex and has a lot of twists and turns.

I discovered  this web site and video lessons only couple days ago. I'd say I lost many years to enjoy chess. Now I'm looking forward to get all lessons of GM  Roman Dzindzichashvili 

good coaching.I look forward to more of your lessons
