Yannis dude, awesome, how are you my friend, its really good to actually be on the same side of your Sicilian rather than the receiving end 😀

Good to know that you are on the team, but do you know that in our two games we have played so far, white won in both cases:
Game 3793152
Game 3793153
You played really well that game.
I am much more at home in the Najdorf than a Dragon though.

By my count, it's a dead tie between the Najdorf and Dragon at 11 votes each. I didn't bother to count all the other lesser chosen moves. I would advise everyone to choose the Dragon, mostly because the positions are much more complicated than in the Najdorf, and most of the time more exciting and imbalanced, which gives us a better chance to beat a higher rated player than if we landed in the Najdorf, which is complicated, sure, but I would say more strategically complicated.

This is because I think you learn more playing the Najdorf as Dragon is too tactic motivated whereas the najdorf involves tactics and a more subtle strategy.
Sorry Tony
