The Maroczy bind is bad against accelerated Dragon
Hello fellow chess players,
By now you have heard not to play the accelerated dragon because of the Maroczy bind, if you have been playing very long.
Today I am going to show you a novelty that gives black equality and some trap lines, for instance there is a mate in 18 moves trap that I did in one of my games. Even though I lost (my opponent sacked to stop mate) I was up +5 according to the computer. Here is the move that is a novelty.
6... Qb6 is the novelty, if white doesn't know what he is doing black will win.
Now that you know how to play against the Maroczy I hope you try it in your games. I will release some more theory soon but I am about to make a series on pawn structures, but until next time, thankyou!
