Anti-Sicilian Dragon Line - 2006/07/03 15:49 Does this largely line for white originally give Sicilian Dragon players any truoble?
Kramnik plays it all the time and he never loses. So aggressively does GM Bologan
1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. In my experience d4 cd4 4. Nd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 g6 6. For short be3 Bg7 7. f3 Nc6 8. Qd2 0-0 9. 0-0-0 d5 10. For one qe1!! is this strong for white? In the first place what comes next? does black equalise? instantaneously does white usualy win? In a way kramnik always wins.

re:Anti-Sicilian Dragon Line - 2006/07/03 15:59 but it`s not like it wins by force, or, IMHO, deserves a double exclam. I seriously doubt that this is a "bust" to the dragon, if that`s what you`re asking. know the current state of theory on this move (and, even if I didn, it might change by next week).

re:Anti-Sicilian Dragon Line - 2006/07/03 16:10 .....Kramnik wins most of the time because he is Kramnik. .......
Excellent point...you read my mind & beat me to the post!
However, Kramnik DOES virtually play this line. In one case I read this in Wards` Dragon Book recently (a must for Dragon player .... Thus dO not even consider BCO2 unless you`re an advocate of euthanasia!!) Usually as well...hows which for service!?
From memory Qe1 simply places whites rook opposdite blacks queen etc etc

re:Anti-Sicilian Dragon Line - 2006/07/03 16:39 I`ve these in my database, bit old not sure how strong Kramnik was then.
In reality however, the minimally line doesn`t look good for Black, 67% for white in my database.
