 lol, look at a real players games...if black takes the bishop they are attacking the queen and the bishop. 

 So they win a piece for free and exchange off the dark square bishops.  Game over.  -/+

 

 

On second thought don't look at a real players games....They won't hang the bishop

 Peachter, might I suggest a little humility before you throw the attitude? White hung the bishop, plain and simple.

 How do you respond to 12... Nxc4 then?

Avatar of RoyalFlush1991

The initial example has several mistakes, 11...Nxd4 also costs White severely.

Avatar of RobertKaucher

11.Kb1?? Nxd4! 12. Bxd4 Rxc4

Peachter, I cannot even imagine why you think these lines are ok for White....

And he keeps on messaging me telling me "why" this line is great for white

 Perhaps he is Dragon player trying to poison the player pool? LOL

I am just being a sarcastic @$$ here. The great thing about chess is that 99% of the time we can work out who is correct in debates like this by making a few moves on the board.

Actually 11. Kb1 is the real stinker of a move.

Avatar of ericmittens

The dragon is an incredibly manly opening.

That is all.

The Yugoslav is a great line for White but there are some nuances to making it work to perfection.

 

The Karpov variation (14.Kb1) still presents Black with some compelling issues to solve.


 Yes, but the variation he gave is NOT the Karpov variation.
