chess opening #18038

Annotated by moppa (1200): I've seen a couple annotated Dragons lately. Here's one I played recently. I think this game is quite interesting in terms of positional compensation and piece activity against material. A little thoughts about the Dragon; Some people seem to think that it's not sound against best play unlike some other openings, but I think it's perfectly playable at all levels of chess. I agree that…

Annotated by scottyad (1200): Here's another game back in the "Chinese Dragon." White plays along one of the more critical lines, beginning 11.Bb3, and we see how dangerous the 13...e5(!) variation can be. Another Chinese Dragon. I cover this system in some detail in previous games. Basically Black's idea is to play ...b5 and somehow prise open the b-file (either with a pawn sacrifice or a knight maneuver…

Annotated by scottyad (1200): The following game in the Dragon Sicilian (with 10..Rb8!?) is full of flavor, but at the expense of objective and practical inaccuracies on both sides.

arfur1471's mini-tournament
dkucak (1460) vs. kansaspatzer (1562)
Annotated by kansasjayhawk (1666): We are still well within theory. This is a thematic move in the Sicilian Dragon. The rook eyes the knight on c3 with x-ray vision, prepared to possibly sacrifice itself there eventually. Obviously, it's not time to do so yet. Just because a sacrifice is thematic and possible does not mean that it should be played automatically. Both sides have signalled their intentions here…

Annotated by whizzkid111 (1200): This game was interesting. Enjoy! Kasparov switches from his usual Najorf. Which was dealt harsly by Anand in game 9. This is the first game which Kasparov played Sicilian Dragon in a serious game, and Anand was taken by a real suprise to see the Dragon from Kasparov. 6. f4 is the Levenfish which immediately threatens 7.e5. Black will have to play 6.Nc6, if 6. Bg7? 7.e5! 6.…
