It is supposed to look like the constellation Draco, not a dragon.
Sicilian Dragon looks like a dragon?
Sort:
The pawn structure for black is what they are talking about. With pawns on h7, g6, f7, e7, d6, b7, a7
Thanks, guys.

Easy to slay, to. Open the h-file, sac, sac, mate.
I'm talking rubbish of course. It's easy to slay if you're Bobby Fischer.
ED.
LOL.

HAHAHAHAHHAHA! There's that Dragon.
lol nice use of photoshop
it was there all time.
You can deffinitely see a dragon there!
Thanx Rael... now everytime I play that variation I'll have the mental image of the dragon there to block my thoughts on the pieces under it.
Wish I had a real dragon like that to breathe fire on my opponent.

The "Dragon" refers to the snake-like shape of Black's pawn structure: h7, g6, f7 (and the rest varies). The pawn formation resembles a serpent's tail, hence the name "Dragon." Plus, the Sicilian Defense is freaking amazingly good and scary.

I see it now. Brilliant, the way you pointed it out so well.
Now, what do you have for the Pelikan Variation?
don't tempt him, he will do it.
bahaha
