Yeah, i'm 'feeling' Ng4.
Also, I think it's possible to get to the position after Ng4 via a different sequence - so is doubly useful!
I'll have another look, as Be3-f3-Qd2 seems to be a common reaction by people who don't really know the accel dragon.
Cheers.

You might turn your attention to 12...Ng4, which (a) has a critical look to it; (b) was played by Greek GM Hristos Banikas and (c) seems to score quite heavily.

Why should Black need an improvement? He is absolutely fine. You write you regretted 12...Bg4. The real question is: did White regret playing 13.Rde1 ? If yes, then 12...Bg4 and x...Be6 wins a tempo.
  

The book had the effect good books usually have: it made the stupids more stupid, the intelligent more intelligent and the other thousands of readers remained unchanged.

In the Accel Dragon recently a player played the Be3, f3, Qd2 system to which I played 8..d5.
After 9.0-0-0 dxe5; 10.Nxc6 Qxd2; 11.Bxd2 bxc6; 12.fxe4 I followed with 12..Bg4.
I found the Bishop a bit in the way on g4 and later regretted it. I played back to Be6 a little later - though having forced Re1.
Are there any improvements along this line or should I be playing 9....Nxd4 - though the majority do seem to play 9...dxe4.
Cheers, Tickly.
