openings the dragon how do you stop it

I use it in real life and I cant find its weeknesses help me out what are they

Sean: I assume you mean facing it as White? The simplest solution,I think,is to avoid it altogether,and play non-standerd lines,like the Smith-Morra,the Alapin,the Grand Prix,the Rossolimo,the Alapin,etc.

is there a more aggressive stance to take. Maybe a piece for piece series. Also what it the strangest openings for each color that are still affective

The trouble answering your ? is that very few top players use the Dragon anymore-it's mostly the Kan,Sveshnikov,and Najdorf. Your other ? can't be answered-there are so many good openings for both sides.

The "solution" to play other lines against the sicilian is lame....that's what black wants: White to play something not as good! Play the Yugoslav Attack....it is pretty nuts and generally thought to be the toughest line against the dragon!

Jester can you tell me anything about king knight openings

:'(

As in 1.e4 e5 2. Nf3 ? What do you want to know chief? 😀

Saint George slew the dragon!

LOL

e3 d4 Nf3 opening:'(

To give a more aggressive response to the original question, one way to keep the advantage for white if black plays the dragon, is by establishing the Moroczy Bind with pawns on e4 and c4. This is easy to do with the Accelerated Dragon, but if black plays 4...Nf6 (encouraging you to play 5. Nc3, you can go for the Prins variation and play 5. f3 instead (protecting the e4 pawn that way and leaving the option of c4 alive).

Hope this helps

thanks divideby

Why fear the dragon? White has a lot of power . It is not like you are faceing Lord Bahamut and his nine Gold dragon court. Black is not invincible. The Maroczy Bind can take black. I think Maroczy Bind is what white's attack is called.

Huum, I see that c4 is played after Nc6 is played. The Yugoslav Attack is the dragon killer.

Intresting.And just how does this Yugoslav attack go?

Black's castled position can often be attacked by using the thematic weakness inherent in the fianchetto (g6 and Bg7)

Seirawan's book Winning Chess Brilliancies shows Karpov (as white) "slaying the dragon" as played by korchnoi. It was such a devastating loss that Korchnoi never played the dragon again...and he had loved it! This game could also be looked up on the net somehow.
it's from the 1974 FIDE Candidates Final

That game shows how white can sacrifice a pawn to attack to king in some dragon positions.
