I play the accelerated dragon with great success. However when I face maroczy bind against a strong opponent (2200+ elo) I get squeezed slowly and I am having trouble finding some active plans. Is there anyway to spice things up and make things crazy?
I am very strong in tactics and complex positions but the lack of space I get from maroczy isnt really my way to play. I am thinking about switching to the normal dragon just so I can avoid maroczy but I like accelerated dragon more except for the maroczy bind.
Could anyone please give me some ideas how to get some active plans in the maroczy? :)

I also like to play the AD but the Maroczy bind can be slightly tackled with 6...Qb6!
Of course 6...Qb6 is an interesting modern approach, but I guess that if a patzer plays against you 8.Nd4, then you will not go for a threefold, right?
