Why is the dragon considered dubious - Chess Forums - Page 3

Can anyone point out what is the problem with the dragon. I am looking to add it to my repertoire as my main answer to 1.e4. I find the najdorf a bit difficult and white has many options against it. I find that in the dragon, black can determine the course of play and sacrifices are the norm.

Karpov's loss to Korchnoi was in a 1971 training match. He got his revenge in 1974 in the Candidates and I don't think Korchnoi played against Karpov again.

I think he means the Korchnoi didn't play the Dragon against Karpov again.
