it sounds cool.

Looks pretty dubious. Don't you have better things to do than making up new openings?

Atos

Lol. Btw I think this is the Accelerated Dragon, and Hyper Accelerated should be with 2. ...g6 ? I could be confusing stuff though.

LAexpress12

you dont even know what your talking about kyle. its real, smart one. Ok, its called the "accelerated. hyper is played a move earlier. but kyle, better to be silent and let others think your a fool, then to speak and confirm it!!! lol jk

LAexpress12

yes,,, atos...thank you...

LAexpress12

of course, your right as ALWAYS. thank you for proving me wrong.

i did mean to say accelerated in the title, accidently said "hyper"

KyleJRM

Clearly dubious. Once you've played c5, you've ceded control of the important d5 square. The goal of pawn moves in the opening should be to control the center.


Something like 1. e4 e6 would be much more sound.

Kyle, to be honest, it's a fairly popular and theoretically accepted opening variation.


 

I'm pretty sure I would have heard of it. Looks refuted to me.

This is a way to play the hyper-accelerated dragon but I don't understand the ...Nc6. Heres an example of the hyper-accelerated dragon going in blacks favor:

and the reason it isn't popular at the elite level is because it allows the dreaded Maroczy Bind as shown:

If White plays the Maroczy Bind in response, Black has a cramped game and if White doesn't, Black can save a tempo with ...d5 in one move. Thats my reasoning behind the play for both sides.


I suspect that there will be several volumes more to it.

Great, another beginner refuting well known opening variations...


I've been playing chess since I was three.

The problem is in the above example, white played poorly and didn't punish black's mistake.

1. e4 c5?

2. d4!

This gives white full control of the center. If 2. ... cxd4??

then 3. Qxd4! gives white even more central control. Black should probably just resign at this point.

 

 

(okay, I'm done, sorry. Back to the serious conversation now...)

Atos

Oh, so you were joking, well in the last couple of days we were told about several major opening variations being refuted, so it's hard to tell...

LAexpress12

kintoki i never play e4 i always play d4, f4, or g4.

 no offense, but all jokes aside, if youve been play since the age of three 1. shouldnt your rating be higher? and 2. wouldnt you know...oh you were joking, i SEE. neeeeeeeeeeevver mind.

Not even one GM I know have claimed that Hyper Accelerated Dragon is refuted. Ask GM Malakhov to confirm.

Anyhow, if you are interested about this opening, visit my dedicated chess blog at www.MyChessPet.com

Just to add why I think it's not popular at super top level chess, is because of opening fashion trend. Every opening has its own hey days especially when a new line is discovered or invented.

When you choose your opening repertoire you should consider the available time you have at your hands. For example, the Najdorf Variation takes longer for one to master it because of the myriad of sharp variations, while the accelerated dragon is much quicker to learn because its got more variations where strategic play is more prominent than pure route memorization.

Thats just my 20 cents.

LAexpress12

better idea esches: 1...e5

SicilianDragon09

just to say if you play Nc6 then it could go to the rossolimo variation by playing Bb5.

SicilianDragon09

so personaly i would play g6 instead of nc6.

This is how I play against the Maroczy Bind
