Hyper accelerated dragon

The hyper accellerated dragon is the Sicilian Line I used to play sadly it is a poor choice and has in fact been show to be good for white when white plays the proper refutation against an oppenent who is knowledgable of the openings flaws you stand litttle chance but if you opponent makes a mistake the hyper-accelerated dragon isn't forgiven but the accellerated dragon accomplishes this same goal and is far more sound hence has become one of my alternatives to the dragon my main opening response to e4.  The most common response to the hyper accelerated dragon is the maroczy bind though better refutations exist.  The accelerated dragon for example is far stronger though still better variations of the sicilian exist.  The dragon is my personal favorite variation of sicilian, admittably this is not the strongest move and therefore should be consider a mistake as najdorf is superior still.

The hyper-accellerated dragon.  Fine at the casual play level but go any higher and it will likely get slain along with your king.

This article offers farther reading on the basic accellerated dragon which is my recommendation for anyone thinking of playing hyper-accellerated. Don't play it. Play this instead one move makes all the difference in the world. 

Yes because 2 games where players miss tactical hits completely disprove an opening :/.  The fischer game the player just makes a mistake.  If d6 instead of na5 it is a perfectly fine position. 

The other one black just gives up 2 minors for a rook. 

In any case I hardly think a game of fischer destroying a player and one other game is enough to say definitively that an opening is unsound. 

 The Maroczy bind is a drawn position and rarely stems from hyper-accelerated dragon as better refutations exist.   The Maroczy bind is normally resultant of Accellerated Dragon 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6!? 3. d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 g6!? where upon 5.c4 Bg7 {or 5...Nxd4!? 6. Qxd4} and the position is equal...

The position can very easily come out of the hyper(I would know)

 <------plays the hyper.   But, I guess I just play at the casual level ;D

 No those where just the only two I could find quickly because Fischers games is a thing of beauty imho.  The other was one I was analyzing out of boredom.  I'll find some more solid support for my argument at a later time as i must be off now.

thanks for the links mhbat14 although i disagree with you. i dont think you can say the opening itself is a ''mistake'' for obvious reasons really!

i actually dont delve into the 7...Nb4 line myself but play 7...Nc7 which is also very playable imo. i dont fear 4.Qxd4 line at all and i am in fact more comfortable (confident & successful) playing hyper accelerated dragon than i am using Najdorf and normal Dragon variation. Then again, im sure people could say the reverse.

guess it all boils down to taste, but no way is the opening a mistake and i dont think that 4.Qxd4 line is disasterous for black, anyway, the real battle starts in middlegame

COmpletely agree with everything there.  First nc7 line in qxd4 line I prefer much more.  2nd the qxd4 line is VERY comfortable to play against once you learn how.   So comfortable in fact that one of the players I play against (of equal ability)doesn't  play the qxd4 line anymore. 

 True its mostly just preferance but in my experience there are certain lines of the hyper-accellerated dragon that just dont seem winnable to me.  I've been smashed by players I crush from anyother opening  I play against white even the french which I despise.  Plus the players I've talked to most of whom all admit are superior players agree that its inferior to other lines.  Though ultimately I guess personal style is the biggest decide of the strength of an opening.  Besides versus a superior player what opening I play probably won't matter I'll lose, against a worse player I'll win.

Interesting...

I play the Hyper-Accelerated Dragon, as a result of reading Alburt's book as cited above.

At the 1500-1900 level I have never really seen the Marcozy Bind, though I know from reading that it can be difficult.  I have actually hoped to see it so that I can become familiar with it.

My most difficult games seem to come when White plays to Black's weakness at g5.  Defense then becomes very demanding with too many pieces tied up in defense.  Those wind up being my least comfortable games, but I think that I am improving at reducing the effect of this weakness.

I should add that I began with the Hyper-Accelerated Dragon as I wanted to begin learning Sicilian and this seemed like the easiest line to jump into for someone new to Sicilian ideas.

encounter this twice in my game here. Beat both of them.

I think it's weak for black. he loses a lot of tempo in defending white's 4. Qxd4.

@mhbat14

thanz for those links.they are the single most important links i have seen for the sicilian defense.they r really really helpful

Not seen it mentioned in a post but might get 3.c3 quite a bit depending on level played at.

The Hyper and the ACC Dragon are much more popular now at the club level due to various mainstream books on it (alburt, greet etc.) White usually is prepared for it even at the 1600 level although I agree with ticklytim that a common sub master method of facing it is to bail out into an Alapin.

The typical c3 line ends up with either a pawn wedge on e5 or the exchange on d6. These positions are easier to play as white from a strategic standpoint than the Marozcy.

At the higher levels you will face the Maroczy as almost any Master would choose a system that gives a lasting edge and very little risk of counterplay. This is also why at the GM level you don't see this opening very often. Black does better playing the Petroff if they want this sort of game.

All this being said at the club level the opening works fine and can be a good stop gap to have as it does trip up yugoslav lovers and the systems fit well with systems vs c4 and d4.

In the maroczy bind (for starters, a structure with white pawns on e4 and c4), white usually tries to dominate the central light squares. Meanwhile, black tries to either dominate the central dark squares or prepare a b5 break, generating pressure on white's queenside.

In other setups, both sides typically try to devour the opponent's king alive.

Which one?

This game shows how the Yugoslav attack is futile against the Hyper Accelerated Dragon!
