Salut,
Quote:This doesn't really answer your question, but why are you playing 2...d6?
Because I want to have the option to reach a 'pure' dragon (Dearing). See the following line
1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 d6
and now 6. Bg5 transposes into Richter-Rauzer and 6. Bc4 g6 will be followed by 7. Nxc6 bc 8. e5.
My aim is to reach a dragon setup.
Quote:Does Black develop his queen-knight to d7 in that opening?
In the pure dragon not, in the Najdorf maybe, I don't know.
Quote:This is acceptable for Black but while Black's basic pawn formation is the same you get a much different type of game than the normal Dragon (unless White goes for a quick d4, which is unlikely).
Maybe White want to play the KIA with d3?
Quote:But you may want to check Rogozenko's book on this.
Which one you mean, maybe this: Anti-Sicilians: A Guide for Black?
