	Here comes Gawains latest Dragon (found it a a list of ongoing tournaments games (no specific opening) on a swedish site), not shure the date where it was played [Event "7th Staunton Memorial, London ENG 2009"] [Site "7th Staunton Memorial, London ENG 2009"] [Date "????.??.??"] [Round "?"] [White "Smeets J] [Black "Jones G"] [Result "1-0"] [PlyCount "81"] 1. e4 c5 2.

Bxd4 20. cxd4 Be6 (20... Qxd4 {is more accuarate and the postion reamains unclear. White has the exchange but black has a strong knight}) 21.

	I was at British championships and I heard Gawain say that he hadn't considered 16 Bc1 in his preperation.

	18. Bc1 is new to me. I have an impression that (g5)-Ka1-Rb1 plan is better. But who knows, Bc1-b2 is a logical idea. Congrats to G. Jones.

	Always the black side of the Dragon!

	Interesting, I hope he will annotate the game at the subscription section. Quick Rybka look indicates that there may bee major improvments for both players.

	Saw this and I thought Greet was winning but what do I know !! i'll be surprised if Gawain tries this again. Slightly surprised that Andrew Greet went so far into 'enemy' territory !
