Accelereated Dragon Assault!

The Accelerated Dragon is a versatile and easy-to-learn system for Black who can force the variation using the Sicilian Defense (1 e4 c5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 d4 cxd4 4 Nxd4 g6). The unsuspecting opponent can also fall into cunning transpositions via different openings such as 1 c4. Using illustrative games, Andrew Martin reveals how White can quickly go astray and how refutation attempts rebound. Against routine development Black shocks his opponent with the early pawn advance ...d5. Against the positional Maroczy Bind system, Martin shows how Black can gain dynamic counterplay with thematic breaks. Run Time: 90 minutes
