B76: Yugoslav 9 g4 and Houdini
A recent of my Dragon games was in this line and when I analysed the victory I discovered something strange with Houdini. This side line of 9 g4 has been given as good for black for decades. All engin...

Yugoslav 9 0-0-0
I looked at the games played in Swedish Elite and one of the Dragon games comes at following but what do you think black should play if white played 19 Bc4? Rybka cleary favors white. Note that Re1 is...

Easy Edge for White in the Dragon 10. Qe1 14. Kb1
Hi,
I have analysed a line for White against the Dragon with 10. Qe1 and 14. Kb1. I know this line is recommended in the Modernized: The Open Sicilian for White. It is also probably shown in the... Started 08/19/16 at 16:09:27 by NegiRefutes (Ex Member) « Pages 1 2 all » |

Is the Dragadorf still viable?
Working through Henley's book on the Sniper has renewed my interest in the Sicilian. I used to play it years ago thanks to "How to think three moves ahead in chess" -- we're talking a long time ago. I...

B76 Leko-Van Wely
This game was played yesterday. I am not shure where black actually went wrong.
Any opinions? Started 01/26/13 at 12:51:33 by bragesjo |

B76: 9.0-0-0 Nxd4 10.Bxd4 Be6 11.Kb1! Qc7 12.Nb5!!
Looking at the NIC database, White scores an amazing 90% after this odd-looking move. In Vigoretto`s new book, no satisfactory defence is offered. Is this the end for 9...Nxd4?

B76: 10.Qe1 in dragon ?
This move seems to be very interesting to me. There is only one high profile game in the database (Svidler Radjabov) which went:

B76: Refutation Claim based on 9. 0-0-0
Some 2200 USCF thinks he has found some refutations to the Dragon based on the 9. 0-0-0 variation. I don't play the opening so im not sure. Here is a link to his claims in a thread on some other forum...
