    Regardless, Tomtom seems to know the dragon better than me in practice 😛
    Thanks, but Zimzofish and Ice Cold beat you to the punch line... 🙂

    Here's an actual game between two Grandmasters who went into this line.

    [b] White's last move was Kb1. What should Black play?

    That opening looks fun to play. Just look at all the minor pieces on the A1-H8 diagonal. Also I don't even know any openings at all, just the opening basics

    I've just had a look at the line on chesssgames.com and black has no wins after Nxe6.

    Yeah, but black gets control of d5.
