| | FSR: And what exactly is an "Old Sicilian" anyway? CG.com's software seems to throw all kinds of things under that heading. |

 | | AylerKupp: An old Sicilian is Don Corleone's father. A lot of things are probably buried under that heading. |

| Jul-17-12 | | TheaN: This is an Accelerated Dragon. I play this variation on the Dragon more regularly than the main line. Most White players stick to their counterattacking options, which are, to say the least, not good in the Accelerated. Black also has no real use to play d6 prior to the fiancetto, as e5 is not as dangerous as one would except. The true sting of the Accelerated is Maróczy's Bind with 6.c4, developing the c-pawn in front of the c3-Knight, possible as Black postponed Nf6, attacking e4. It's an interesting take on an already doublesided opening. |
