    Sicilian Defence, Accelerated Dragon

    The Accelerated Dragon (or Accelerated Fianchetto) 10.Bc4+ will be seen, attempting to add kingside presis a chess opening variation of the Sicilian Defence that sure while developing a minor piece. However, Black debegins with the moves:
    fends easily with 10...d5 or 10...e6, resulting in a position
    where his king is safe. Both players can choose to play
    the game positionally or otherwise will have variable re1. e4 c5
    sults. Statistically, Whites best move is 10.Be2 followed
    2. Nf3 Nc6
    with 11.0-0.
    3. d4 cxd4
    4. Nxd4 g6

    The Accelerated Dragon features an early g6 by Black.


    An important dierence between this line and the Dragon
    is that Black avoids playing d7d6, so that he can later
    play d7d5 in one move, if possible. Black also avoids
    the Yugoslav Attack, but since White has not been forced
    to play Nc3 yet, 5.c4 (the Marczy Bind) is possible.

    One of the main lines continues: 5. Nc3 Bg7 6. Be3 Nf6


    7. Bc4 (see diagram). At this point the most important
    Black continuations are 7...0-0 and 7...Qa5. White should
    not castle queenside after 7...Qa5, unlike in the Yugoslav
    Attack.

    7... 0-0 is the main line, after which White should proceed with 8. Bb3. If Black plays 8...d6, White usually
    plays 9.f3 as in the Yugoslav attack. Although, Black often plays 8...a5 or 8...Qa5, after which castling queenside
    can be dangerous, and it is often a better idea for White
    to castle kingside.
