El Khalif used to played the Dragon at regular basis and he even played a couple of Dragon as late as 2007.

But when he won the Fide wch if I dont missrember these games where classical sicilian that became classical dragons by transposing.

At any rate I am looking foreward to his book and as soon as local store gets it I will buy it and report if there are any weaknesses in the repertoure (I have played most systems as black so I know all critical lines). Also, I play Bc4 yugoslav with white as well, and the most curios line is  9 Bc4 Bd7 10 Bb3 Nxd4 11 Bxd4 b5 system, all line I rarely meet at all at the internet.

this whole khalifman series is  way too exagerated ...
come on ... 444 pages only against the dragon from whites perspective in some particular variations ... this series is really not for amateurs ...
The opening repertoire according to kramnik with 5 books was also quite much, but still o.k.. But this now is the 11th book, isn't it, and no end in sight? This Anand series is really really much over the top, and especially this 11th part of it. But I guess Khalifman is a good ressource for the dragon, because he played it himself, I think he even used it in some round when he won the Fide Wch.

If you are 1.e4 player and interested in Maroczy systems, there must be somethings for you in the "Opening according to Kramnik" series, vol. 3 on this. In other words, Khalifman already has offered an alternative against 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 g6 previously with 5. c4 (there to be found covered after 1. Nf3 c5 2. c4 g6 3. e4 etc.).

I think, you may decide with approach suits you best and looks more promising for you.

Thanks.
So as someone who defends the Black side I need to buy BOTH volumes if I suspect opponents are following the According To series ...

Opening for White According to Anand 11
Khalifman reaches the Dragon!
by Alexander Khalifman

 
Our Price: £ 24.50

Publisher: Chess Stars, 2009
Edition: Paperback medium
Pages: 444
Language: English

   

   



Khalifman reaches the Dragon and the Accelerated Dragon and needs 444 pages to construct a razorsharp repertoire for white, opting for the Yugoslav Attack with 9.Bc4.

As the author confesses his work was not made easier when Magnus Carlsen included the Dragon in his repertoire, resulting in plenty of new games and 'new' variations. Nevertheless he has managed to deal with these lines as well.
