I forgot to mention that Bc4 lines where white castles kingside can be dangerous as well if black does not play accurate, escpeceilly if white remember to place Bishop to b3 and not allow any Nxe4 tactic.

Maybee I was a bit harch about g3 and classical castle kingside lines. g3 can actually be troubelsome to meet if black has no idea where to place the pieces since the position resulits in none typical Dragon positions.

About Be2 Bg5 0-0 line I lost agianst it myself a few years ago against the highest rated played I ever meet but was about equal after the opening and most of the mid game.

Also be aware of the move Nf3!? that sets up a trap, if black plays Bg7 white plays e5.

I always found the setup Be6; Rc8; satisfactory, if possible followed by Na5 and the exchange sac. If that doesn't work. prepare ...d5. A glance in Megabase 2009 teached me that Black should study this as well indeed; I noticed too many wins for White.

You better pay attention to 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 g6 6.Be2 Bg7 7.0-0 0-0 8.Nb3 Nc6 9.Bg5 and 9.Kh1 as well. In my opinion this is White's second best option after the Jugoslav. 9.Bg5 has been played by no one less than Karpov in his heighdays (and with success). 9.Kh1 is meant as an improvement on 9.Bg5.
Bragesjo knows a lot more about the Dragon than me, but I disagree that some brief knowledge is sufficient to meet this.

Hi guys,
I have played the hyper-accelerated dragon for some time now and was looking for something more... violent So i thought of playing the "real" dragon. I was wondering, besides the main line (you know... the I'll get to your throat stuff) what shall I worry about?
