Originally posted by TygertYes indeed, its a good system to play against the Yugoslav, white attacks the Kigside and what, no King, ok, seeing that you are also a dragon master, we should put aside our differences and be friends!

BTW your results with the black pieces are simply amazing!

Originally posted by TygertActually its entirely misleading, I play players who are my friends and who are much much lower rated than me, almost always with the black pieces, I get beat up with black all the time against players of a similar rating.

Originally posted by Tygertyes it can, if you are playing the dragondorf, you need to be careful about b5, white can simply undermine it with a4, but if there is a bishop on c4 it usually comes with tempo. I always wondered what would happen if white tried a piece sacrifice on b5. Here is a video i made of the dragondorf, I hope you can understand my accent 🙂

Originally posted by robbie carrobieI have looked at the b5 sac, might be sound. White could castle kingside, get his king rook to b1 and push the passed pawns. He could probably force black to give up one of his minor pieces and then have an advantage. On the video, I think it's great! I like that someone has finally done a good tutorial on this good opening, I feel like it's the best response to the Yugoslav attack because every time I play the dragon the fianchettoed setup gets destroyed by white's kingside pawns and dark squared bishop.

By the way, your accent isn't too incomprehensible... 😀
