2... d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 g6
The sicilian dragon which is very popular. It allows 6...Bg7 and 0-0.

 
6. Be3 Bg7 7. f3
to be followed by Qd2, 0-0-0, Bh6, pawn storm on the kingside. If 7.Qd2 immediately, black can play 7...Ng4.

 
7... Nc6 8. Qd2 O-O 9. Bc4
Sicilian Defense , Dragon Variation , Yugoslav Attack. Now black usually plays 9...Bd7 or Qa5.

9... Bd7 10. h4
Safer is 0-0-0 which is the book move, but this move is also good.

 
10... Ne5 11. Bb3
Moving the bishop to a safe square and still controlling a2-g8 diagonal.

 
11... Qa5 12. O-O-O Rfc8
Black is ready to play b5, a5, b4 to open lines to the white king.

 
13. Kb1
Moving the king to the safest square to attack from kingside.

 
13... b5
? This loses a pawn after 13Ncxb5 Qxd2 14.Bxd2 a5 15.a4 and white has the advantage and is a pawn up.

14. Nd5
14.Nd5? Blunder. best was 14.Ncxb5.

 
14... Qxd2 15. Nxf6+ Bxf6 16. Bxd2 a5 17. Bg5 Bxg5 18. hxg5 a4 19. Bd5 Rab8 20. f4
20.f4! planning white's next move.

 
20... Ng4 21. Bxf7+
21.Bxf7+!! nice sacrifice that gives white big advantage.

 
21... Kxf7 22. Rxh7+ Ke8
The best. if instead 22...Kg8? 23.Rdh1 Rf8 (the only move to avoid mate) 24.Rh8+ Kf7 25.R1h7+ Ke8 26.Rxf8+ Kxf8 27.Rh8+ Kg7 28.Rxb8 wins easily. if 22...Kf8? 23.Rdh1 Be6 (forced to allow the king an escape at d7) 24.Nxe6+ Ke8 25.Rg7 Kd7 26.Rhh7 Re8 and white has a desicive advantage.

 
23. Rh8+ Kf7 24. Rh7+
hoping for 24...Kg8 or Kf8 with quick win for white.

 
24... Ke8
Here i refused draw by threefold repetition and continue the game as i have big advantage besides, i am white.

 
25. Rdh1 Kd8
The only move that avoids mate or losing a material.

 
26. Rg7 Be8
26...Be8? i think better was 26...b4.

 
27. Rhh7 Kc7
again the best.
