The Sicilian Dragon
The romantic Dragon Variation.... so called because the pawn structure is said to resemble a dragon with a fianchettoed head on the kingside and a spiked tail (pawns on a6 and b5) on the queenside. In the Dragon, Black aims next to place the dark-squared bishop on the long diagonal g7 and then castle. The drawback, of course, is that every pawn move creates a weakness and Black has committed quickly to a kingside fianchetto. The advance of the black g-pawn has weakened f6 and h6, the latter of which will now become White's target of attack.
In this e-book, the author provides 11 carefully annotated games, , including several of the author's own, many of which have never before been published.
Unlike many other inexpensive chess e-books, these are fully annotated in understandable, simple language. The profuse use of diagrams make these among the first chess books that you can read WITHOUT A BOARD at your side.
