[quote author=bragesjo link=1168867973/0#2 date=1168895324]Tiviakov chooses some times Dragons, some times accelerated Dragons and some times Scandinaivan.

Here are a Dragon from Corus. I have not analysed the game but here are some theoretical comments from my memory.

[Event "Corus C"]
[Site "Wijk aan Zee NED"]
[Date "2007.01.13"]
[Round "1"]
[White "Berg, E."]
[Black "Van Haastert, E."]
[Result "1-0"]
[ECO "B78"]
[WhiteElo "2586"]
[BlackElo "2391"]
[PlyCount "67"]
[EventDate "2007.01.13"]

1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 g6 6. Be3 Bg7 7. f3 O-O 8. Qd2
Nc6 9. Bc4 Bd7 10. Bb3 Rc8 (10... Nxd4 11. Bxd4 b5 {is my preference}) 11.
O-O-O Ne5 (11... Nxd4 12. Bxd4 b5 {is the alternativ}) 12. Kb1 Re8 13. Bh6 (13.
h4 h5 14. Bh6 Nc4 15. Bxg7 Kxg7 16. Bxc4 Rxc4 17. Nd5 {is the critical line})
13... Nc4 (13... Bxh6 14. Qxh6 Rxc3 15. bxc3 a5 {gives black good play}) 14.
Bxc4 Rxc4 15. Bxg7 Kxg7 16. g4 {best move in this position} e5 17. Nde2 Rc6 18.
h4 h5 19. g5 Nh7 20. f4 Qa5 21. fxe5 Rxe5 22. Nd4 Ra6 23. Nb3 Qd8 24. Qf4 f6
25. gxf6+ Qxf6 26. Qg3 Be6 27. Rhf1 Qe7 28. Nd4 Nf6 29. Nf5+ Bxf5 30. exf5 Ng4
31. Nd5 Qf7 32. fxg6 Qxg6 33. Qf4 Re8 34. Nc7 1-0

[ I have played a game this week-end against 13.Bh6, i hope to receive suggestions to have winning chances because i think that i equalized but with few winning chances :
White "M" 2213 Black "parisestmagique" 2254 : 13.Bh6 BxB 14.QxB Rxc3 15.bxc3 a5 16.a4 Qc7 17.Rhe1 Qxc3 18.Qd2 Qc5 19.f4 Nc4 20.Qc3 Rc8 21.QxN QxQ 22.BxQ RxB 23.e5 Nd5 24.Nb5 BxN 25.RxN Bxa4 26.exd ? (Re2=) exd ? (Bxc2+) 27.Re2 Rxf4 28.Rxa5 Bc6 29.Kb2 h5 30.g3 1/2-1/2. The deviations suggested by Tiviakov : 16.a4 Qb6 !? or 17.Rhe1 b5!? seems ok too but no better than 17.Rhe1 Qxc3]

Another Dragon has been played (plus a couple of accelereted Dragons).

[Event "Corus C"]
[Site "Wijk aan Zee NED"]
[Date "2007.01.21"]
[Round "8"]
[White "Spoelman, W."]
[Black "Van Haastert, E."]
[Result "1/2-1/2"]
[ECO "B78"]
[WhiteElo "2414"]
[BlackElo "2391"]
[PlyCount "97"]
[EventDate "2007.01.13"]

1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 g6 6. Be3 Bg7 7. f3 O-O 8. Qd2
Nc6 9. Bc4 Bd7 10. O-O-O Rc8 11. Bb3 Ne5 12. Kb1 Re8 13. h4 h5 14. Bh6 Nc4 15.
Bxc4 Rxc4 16. Bxg7 Kxg7 17. g4 hxg4 18. h5 Rh8 19. hxg6 fxg6 20. f4 e5 21. Nde2
Rxh1 22. Rxh1 Nxe4 23. Nxe4 Rxe4 24. fxe5 Rxe5 25. Qh6+ Kf6 26. Qh4+ Rg5 27.
Nc3 Bf5 28. Re1 Kg7 29. Nd5 Be4 30. Nf4 Bxc2+ 31. Kc1 Bf5 32. Nd5 Qc8+ 33. Nc3
Rh5 34. Qe7+ Kh6 35. Qe3+ Kg7 36. Qe7+ Kg8 37. Qxd6 Rh3 38. Re7 Rxc3+ 39. bxc3
Qxc3+ 40. Kd1 Qa1+ 41. Kd2 Qxa2+ 42. Ke3 Qb3+ 43. Kf4 Qc4+ 44. Kg5 Qc1+ 45. Kf6
Qc6 46. Qxc6 bxc6 47. Re8+ Kh7 48. Re7+ Kg8 49. Re8+ 1/2-1/2

I have not analysed this game either.

After 14 Bh6 then Qa5 is bad according to Rogozenkos disc because of 15 g4.

Maybe this is the type of game discouraging for Dragon players, white does'nt take too much risk and has better chances. In the move order of the game i agree with you he could have tried 13.Bh6 BxB 14.QxB Rxc3 15.bxR a5 with conterplay for the exchange but in the move order 13.h4 h5 14.Bh6 Nc4 (maybe Qa5 is the better chance for Black for exemple 15.BxB KxB 16.Rhe1 Nc4 17.BxN RxN equal or slightly better for white ?) 15.BxN RxB 16.BxB KxB 17.Nd5 +=

What are the odds on Tiviakov playing the dragon if he gets the chance ?  Tongue
