1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 g6 5.c4 Nf6 6.Nc3 d6 7.Nxc6 bxc6 8.c5 trickyguy-alert!, this is a variation of the accelerated dragon, marozy bind, which some over 2000 rated player is being using here at chess.com, be alerted that nothing other than what I am about to show you equlizes for black! 8...Bg7 9.cxd6 e5! this seems good, but it is not,

9..Qxd6 equlizes imidiately [9...Qxd6 10.Qxd6 exd6 11.Bf4 d5 12.exd5 Nxd5 13.Nxd5 cxd5 14.0–0–0 Be6–+; 9...Qxd6 10.Qc2 0–0 11.Bd2 Be6–+; 9...exd6 10.Bf4 Rb8 11.Rb1 Ng4 12.Qd2 0–0 13.Be2 Rb4 14.0–0 Rd4-+]

let's go get'em !!

I'll have to check if this line is in my AD book when I get the chance. I don't usually face the Maroczy, but as my rating goes up (hopefully) I am likely to face it more.

I have to tell you it is very unusual to find this kind of play against the accelerated dragon specially when your opponent has dicided on a maroczy bind, maroczy bind players most likely will aim at trying to control squares throughout the whole board before trying farther for an advantage, this is the reason I decided to place this post here, I checked one of my databases and I could only find one game in this variation (although I had seen and studied this variation before)

nice article bt wat is dragoon accelarated.........

dragon acelerated is 2Nc6 instead of 2d6.there is even the hyperacelarated dragon

The accelrated dragon is a variation of the Sicilian defense where the black fianchettoes the bishop on g7  before moving the d-pawn. This allows black to play d5 instead of d6.

good article, but the accelerated dragon is little used in top level competition nowadays; it's just too risky.

I have been playing the Accelerated dragon for a while now, I admit there are certain very sharp variations which can happen right out of the opening in the AD, the AD also gives your opponent many chances to go wrong right out of the oppening, there is only one thing about the AD which may not be to the linking of chess players who don't like slow manouvering games and it is the fact that after 4..g6 your opponent could play 5.c4 taking the game into a Maroczy bind variation which not many AD players really understand, sometimes I try to state away from the Maroczy bind by switching my move orther and playing 4..Nf6 intead, and only playing 5..g6 after my opponent had played 5.Nc3, this is a method which was used by several chess greats including kortchnoi, but then again there are some other things to deal with in the 4..Nf6 variation as well.., since after 5..g6 6.Nxc6 could also take the game to a "sensitive territory".., I would say the AD is not something to be expected from somebody who is not familiar with the opening and has taken his time to do some research in it.. 

I have been playing the AD for many years now and with great success I must ad. That is due to the fact that the opening contains numerous traps that the first player has to avoid. However on the higher levels I find it not such a good defense. The main lines lead to a white opening advantage in both the "classical" and Maroczy bind systems. The main problem for Black is the weak d5 square. Usually White is able to plunk a knight in there and if it get's exchanged he will recapture with his e-pawn thus opening the e-file for his rooks and exerting nasty pressure against the pawn on e7. There is a good article by Dutch GM Van der Weide explaining it all in detail:
