About This Course
The Dragon Variation (1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 g6) is one of the most forcing and tactical variations in all of chess. Black fianchettoes the dark-squared bishop, creating a powerful attacking piece aimed at White's queenside. The resulting positions often feature opposite-side castling and mutual attacks. This course covers the Yugoslav Attack and other critical lines.
