This is a Sicilian Dragon, so-called because the analysis tends to drag on.

The Dragon variation gets its name from the resemblance of Black's pawn structure to the constellation Draco.

I think he was joking. But that's a cool trivia.

I enjoy playing in thematic tournaments. It helps me better understand my favorite openings.

Here are two games from two different Fried Liver tournaments.

Originally, it was thought the Fried Liver would give White a perpetual advantage. However, that is not the case.

I've always liked the Scotch Gambit despite not having a great record with it. But it is fun, so I persist. This was against a chess app on my phone, which even on level 10 would play some very questionable moves sometimes but I'll take what I can get happy.png

How do you make the squares different colors (you made some orange and some green)

A combination of brilliant and blunder. I was proud of this 30 move game

The exchange of g pawns after g4, in general favors White, that should have control of the file and the long diagonal.

Sometimes it takes a little luck, so you must stick to it until the end.

It's by using keyboard while drawing arrows (either the Ctrl, Shift, or Alt key for 3 different colors)

Pretty funny. Since this was bullet, I'm guessing white had some surprise idea behind the foolish 3.Bxf6? that backfired. Nice game!

The venerable London system. As usual, I mess up the opening and I'm worse for most of the game. Then black makes a gross miscalculation (17...Nxd4?) and his position quickly collapses.
