HELP NEEDED: Accelerated Dragon From 2... d6?!

The internet is what you use to answer your question.
Yeah, I tried that. I'm not an excellent googler, though, and I've only found resources relating to the 2... Nc6 Accelerated Dragon. Do you have googling skills that found any resources?

I do have some pretty awesome internet skills :-) But the problem is that asking about an ongoing game is considered cheating. So I am unable to help you. I will say this...you're on move 4. You're overthinking this, and trying to play by pure memorization of an opening, without actually having any understanding of the position. Which is a horrible way to try and learn.

OK, sorry, I had interpreted the rules as indicating I could not seek a person's ideas or opinions, but I was allowed to ask for help finding static resources. I guess that interpretation was wrong, though.
I'm not necessarily trying to memorize moves. This happens to be a fairly high-stakes game in a team match, since most of the boards below me are extremely skewed towards our opponents, and I probably have to win for our team to have a chance. Perhaps I'm overthinking this, but I am trying to make sure I give appropriate thought to each move- quick moves on daily games have killed me in the past, and I am trying to cure the habit by intentionally making sure I make the best move I can on each turn. I'll make sure to not stress too much though. Thanks!

Let me first say think you on how you are handling this. Its rare that someone doesn't throw an online fit over some constructive criticism.
I am interpreting the rules pretty strictly because this is a team match. Yes you are allowed to use books, databases, etc. But you cannot use engines. Hopefully that helps guide you :-)
After the game is over, if you want we can discuss the game to death and i can explain what im not allowed to explain right now.
Hello everyone,
I am playing in a daily tournament where my opponent has put forth an accelerated dragon, (playing g6 in four moves instead of 5, while procrastinating the usual Nf6), but from a 2. ..d6 sicilian instead of the normal 2..Nc6 sicilians that accelerated dragons usually come from. I know that I can't ask for people to give me help in ongoing games, but I am allowed to read up on the openings. Does anyone know any place that touches on ideas in these sorts of positions? Usually I play a Maroczy against the Accelerated Dragon, as I am a positional player, so I assume I'll want to go for something like that, but I'm not sure how other ideas of the Accelerated Dragon (save a tempo by not playing d6, potential for trade on c6 and then e5 push, etc) translate into this sort of game, so I'd like to read a little bit about it!
Thanks!
