Your first game started off like an Sicilian Accelerated Dragon.

In the Accelerated Dragon you have the option of setting up a very powerful Bind. If I was you I would of played 5.c4. Going into the Macrozy Bind. You didn't play that move so you kind of messed up little bit. Its not a huge mistake though. Maybe just an inaccuracy.

However, the position than transposed into a Accelerated Dragon vs Yugoslav Attack. At which point your opponent really messed up.

Allowing the position to tranpose into the Sicilian Dragon vs Yugoslav Attack.

There was several mistakes on both sides. However, it happens sometimes. It was a nice game though.

The Yugoslav Attack doesn't do so great against the Accelerated Dragon. In fact, You got away very lucky.

8...d5 would of gave you huge problems. Instead black played 8...d6 which turned the position into the Sicilian Dragon.

At that point you have 2 options 9.Bc4 or 9.0-0-0

I like playing the move 9.Bc4 it stops the pawn push d5;however, 0-0-0 is very popular line as well.

Once you play 9.0-0-0  The mainline response for black in the Sicilian Dragon is the move 9...d5 Your opponent didn't play it. He really didn't like the move d5 for some reason. 

8...d5 would of been crushing for him. You would of had problems

The reason why is becuase the position is Accelerated Dragon vs Yugoslav Attack. The Accelerated Dragon owns the Yugoslav Attack. I believe Sicilian Dragon players created the Accelerated Dragon becuase they was sick of facing the Yugoslav Attack and wanted a line to punish it. That is the reason I believe why the Accelerated Dragon was created.

After your opponents move 8...d6 position is a Normal Sicilian Dragon

9...d5 had to be played for blacks survival. At that point you was crushing.

Yugoslav Attack owns the Sicilian Dragon. It has a nice score against it.

I frankly don't know which move 10 move is most precise they all seem really good to me. I guess an engine would know the most precise.

I think it would be between 10.h4 , 10.g4, or 10.Kb1

Also 10.Bc4 would turn the position into the 9.Bc4 line I normally play. However, I think the other 3 moves might be better in that specific position.

Hopefully that helps you.

I hope my post didn't confuse you. I mean there is alot of deep rooted idea's in these 2 lines.

Accelerated Dragon

and

Sicilian Dragon

I guess the 2 simpliest ideas to give you would be

2...Nc6 is played in Accelerated Dragon

2...d6 is played in Sicilian Dragon

The first idea - The above 2 moves are played to defend the e5 square. So white doesn't play e5 with his pawn.

The second idea - Later on Usually in all Sicilian lines black wants to play a d5 pawn break to liberate his position. One subtle difference between 2...Nc6 and 2...d6 is if you play the pawn move d6 than d5 you waste 2 pawn moves.

So by playing 2...Nc6 they try to save a tempo. However, it comes with a catch. The catch is it allows a powerful bind to happen. " The Macrozy Bind" which is the 5.c4 move. This move puts a bind on the d5 square. Which black wants to play the d5 pawn break to liberate his position. So by playing c4 it makes it pretty much impossible for black to play d5.

Thanks for the advice , so basically just opening knowledge was my problem? You say after my opponent doesnt play d5 I am doing well but it doesnt seem like I was able to convert any type of advantage or even keep it . What key mistake(s) after the opening do you think made me lose the advantage? was there a certain plan I didnt follow? In my opinion it was lack of attacking skills and 17 h5 .

along with all of the pointless rook moves I mentioned

You have your history backward mate. The original way to play the Dragon was through Classical Sicilian route, where Black plays 2...Nc6, 5...d6, and 6...g6. However, with the rise of the Ricther-Rauzer attack against the Classical Sicilian, this move order was no longer viable, so they used the Accelerated Dragon move order with 2...Nc6 and 4...g6. This too ran into problems in the aforementioned Maroczy's Bind eventually. So only then was the move order refined to 2...d6 and 5...g6. From there, White players came up with a powerful attacking scheme that is the Yugoslav Attack. 

Yeah my bad I said they created it. I meant to say used lol.

Like I think Sicilian Dragon players like to use the Accelerated Dragon to get some revenge on the Yugoslav Attack. Since it usually does good against it.

Thanks for the correction though. I honestly don't know the history of which sicilian lines were created first vs others. So its interesting to find that out by your post.

However, I beieve the Accelerated Dragon and Hyper Acecelerated Dragons are more of revenge lines against Yugoslav Attack.

I'm curious when you say Classical sicilian route. Are you meaning the Old Sicilian? Becuase I think the Classical sicilian is played with 5...Nc6.

8...d5 would of been crushing for him. You would of had problems

@ Robert0905

The diagram you are showing is of a Sicilian Dragon move order with 9...d5.

Which I mentioned

9...d5 had to be played for blacks survival. At that point you was crushing.

The line I was talking about was with the Accelerated Dragon move order with 8...d5

8...d5 would of been crushing for him. You would of had problems

This is better for black becuase black has saved a tempo. d5 comes in 1 move instead of 2. White king is not castled and behind in development. Black is already attacking.

10.Nxc6 was a mistake.

Better moves I think would be between 10.h4 , 10.g4, or 10.Kb1

Also I believe the move 18.h6+ was a mistake.

You want to get rid of the pawns so his king faces your major pieces.When you attack with pawn storm you do so to open files. So your big pieces become active usually (Rooks or Queen)

Instead of 18.h6+ I think maybe better would been 18.Rh1 once your rook is on H file than I would of played 19.hxg6 you always take to open things up against your opponents king.

When people attack you. You usually never take pawns becuase you want thinks to be closed. When you attack you want things open. Than your rook will have open file.

Once it is open your rook is active. Which means than you can swing queen in. 1 example would be Qh6+. If your rook is open on H file than it supports a Qh6+ and if there king goes to lets say g8 in this position. Than you can make them on h7 or h8.

Mating them on the H file. Its actually very common saying which was said by Bobby Fischer. He said when ever I play the Sicilian Dragon my plan in the Yugoslav Attack is to sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice than mate black on the H file.

He use to even sacrifice his rook for a knight. Sometimes players play Nxh5 to try and stop the pawn from messing up the kings pawns. He sometimes played RxN. True story one of his famous quotes.

Just think about your position after 18.h6+ what could you do? It was like your attack disappeared. Nothing was open. It was becuase your major pieces couldn't get active to help in an attack.

Thanks everyone for the advice especially player j . I actually considered Rh1 etc but dismissed it because i thought after i open the hfile if fxg6 or the f file is opened some other way i have backwards f pawn , which doesnt mean anything really because if he takes it i have open f file toward his king i realize now . To fix this problem im going to just play a bunch of games and castle opposite no matter what so i can practice it . I might post another game of me trying that here . Looking at some theory seems like a good idea aswell especially for things like sicillians .

Your welcome. Yeah when you have opposite side castling its a race to checkmate. Take the pawns to rip open the position to shreds.

Yeah your getting the hang of it now. They would have backward pawn to attack on the F file. However, if they take that pawn the 2 white rooks are alive and active. They might be wise and not to take that pawn. I would be to scared to take that F pawn as black.

Micky there was very low time on the clock and i was manly premoving although thanks for the advice anyways . Trading queens was also a mistake for me just because time reasons, there is greater chance for me to make a mistake in a k+p endgame than with more pieces on board . By better endgame I meant when my opponent gave me the pawn not the k+pawn endgame i traded into .
