no i dont think so
hyperaccelerated dragon
Sort:
i play it
Actually, what you have posted is the Accelerated Dragon. The Hyper-Accelerated Dragon starts with 2...g6, as in post #9. Both lines usually reach the same positions, but there are subtle (too subtle for me!) differences

i find the accelerated dragon and the normal dragon very easy to play as white, but the hyper-accelerated dragon always throws me off for some reason

I play it from time to time. It’s fun and actually a more positional game than the traditional dragon. Almost nobody at my level goes for the Maroczy (generally considered whites best attempt), so I usually get ez (and fun) equality

I’ll play the Reversed Dragon as white to mix it up. It’s fun having the first tempo and breathing that dragon bishop down the long diagonal.

I don't like the normal dragon, but the Reversed Dragon is much better since you avoid all the aggressive kingside attack stuff which you see in the normal dragon, but the aggressive stuff is not played in the Reversed Dragon because you have an extra tempo.
Sorry for basically copying what you said @Chuck639, I guess we just agree with the Reversed Dragon
