A bunch of titles I hadn't seen under the Hacker Files: <br /><a href="https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B002BLU5Y2" target="_blank">https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B002BLU5Y2</a> https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1721139665 ChessPub Forum/Dragon Sicilians https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1721139665 Tue, 16 Jul 2024 14:21:05 GMT GM Gustafsson has a new Chessable course aggressiv 1 e4 for White. He gives for 9 000 yugoslav meeting d5 with Nxc6 bxc6 Bc4. Very interesting unexpolored line. https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1710777512 ChessPub Forum/Dragon Sicilians https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1710777512 Sat, 8 Jun 2024 09:41:33 GMT I have played several blitz games in this line and I got very good position. The line has surprise value. I dont know if I agree to every recommendation in the base but still interesting. Many players have started to play early Bc4 to avoid the line. https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1693914073 ChessPub Forum/Dragon Sicilians https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1693914073 Sun, 15 Oct 2023 13:50:05 GMT Re 9. Bc4 Nxd4 10. Bxd4 Be6, I noticed that Sindarov-Nakamura today stayed with the ancient Tal-Larsen game until White's 23rd (23. c3 instead of Tal's 23. b3). Draw agreed on move 30. https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1623060568 ChessPub Forum/Dragon Sicilians https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1623060568 Tue, 22 Aug 2023 13:22:43 GMT I have  now played lots of  Correspodence Chess games the crititical lines in 9 0-0-0 and 9 Bc4 yugoslav systems proposed by Giris book. And my conclusion are that the Dragon is a long forced draw in both lines. <br /><br />White might win some games in the 9 0-0-0 endgame in practical over the board games but objective the endgame is a easy draw, https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1666807128 ChessPub Forum/Dragon Sicilians https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1666807128 Fri, 28 Oct 2022 10:45:21 GMT I was about to come on here and ask the same question. I saw Chris had a DVD out earlier this year but was waiting for the other DVDs in the set to come out first. I hadn't realised they were now available until a few days ago.<br /><br />I will get them at some point, I like his presentation generally and like a lot of Brits, his books on the dragon where hugely influential to my chess. Also because he is still writing the dragon section here he is well placed to know a lot of the latest developments.<br /><br />However, the start of the video he does add a sort of disclaimer that he is focusing on the key themes rather than the theory, so I expect it to be a little light on that latter part.   https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1665034502 ChessPub Forum/Dragon Sicilians https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1665034502 Tue, 11 Oct 2022 07:49:18 GMT I would not trust the line vs 9 000 yugoslav with Bd4 in Correspondence Chess.<br />However this line vs  9 Bc4 Yugoslav looks reasonable at first sight. https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1647629886 ChessPub Forum/Dragon Sicilians https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1647629886 Sat, 19 Mar 2022 07:23:25 GMT <b>This <a href="https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1647629887/0#0"><b>Topic</b></a> has been moved to</b> <a href="https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?board=chitchat_brd"><i><b>Chit Chat</b></i></a><b> by <i>MNb</i></b> https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1626959773 ChessPub Forum/Dragon Sicilians https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1626959773 Thu, 16 Dec 2021 15:40:29 GMT Sorry made a typo of course not 12...<br /><br />Edit: the moderator repaired it.<br /><br /> https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1623103432 ChessPub Forum/Dragon Sicilians https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1623103432 Tue, 8 Jun 2021 00:45:19 GMT Maybe <b>1.e4 c5 2.Nf3</b> (or 2.d4 cxd4 3.Nf3 g6) <b>2...g6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Bc4 Nf6 5.e5 d5</b> is the way.<br />Just don't try it with the bishop already on g7, e.g. 4...Bg7 5.c3 Nf6? 6.e5 +/-. After 4...Nf6 the engine prefers white following <b>5.Qxd4</b>, but this can't worry black who was willing to allow 4.Qxd4.
