The Maroczy Bind (B36) is considered to be the most difficult line against the Accelerated Dragon. However, I have rarely faced it at my level. Here is how it goes:

1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 g6
3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nc6
5.c4 Nf6 6.Nc3 *

To test the validity of my opening, I need to play this line. This is a plea for someone to challenge me and play this line (preferably using a databse, like the one on Shredderchess.com) Anyone over 1600 is welcome to play and the game can be rated or unrated.

To save a lot of time why don't you just set up the position as an open invite......You can even put the min rating requirement on it as well....

Here's a game I finished last week, where I was facing the Bind.

Get a chess program and play any opening you wish against it. The best thing is computers are always willing to play you, don't mind playing the same opening over and over and over again and never complaing about always having black or white 🙂

Thanks Rahim! I had no access to the advanced options last time I tried and did not know of this function. This is fantastic!

The invite is available and I really hope some one will join. It is set to unrated, however, I don't mind if it's rated.

Interesting game. White picked the best moves until Qd2, nicely done. I'm also curious, why did you select the Bg7 line compared to Nf6?
