Hyperaccelerated Dragon Vol. 1 - Open Sicilian

 This two-volume course presents a complete repertoire for Black after 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 g6 - the Hyper-Accelerated Dragon. In recent years, this dynamic line has grown significantly in popularity, with several of the world’s top players adding it to their repertoires. 

This variation has two main advantages for black, he does not have to face the Rossolimo or Moscower Variation after 3.Bb5 and in many lines he can play d5 in one go and save a tempo. This first volume covers the Open Sicilian with both the razor sharp lines from the dragon and the positional Maroczy Bind.

Free video sample: 6.Be3 Qb6 Introduction

 You'll get complete, well-organized coverage of the critical battlegrounds. In the Open Sicilian after d4, every important try is addressed, including the early Qxd4 grab, which is fully defused across two dedicated chapters thanks to modern engine analysis showing Black is in excellent shape. The main lines after Nc3 and Bc4 are covered in depth, right up to the sharp, modern Yugoslav-style positions that produce, some of the best Dragon setups available for Black. The challenging Maroczy Bind (5.c4) gets serious attention too, featuring the latest developments with the active ...Qb6 system - including original novelties and lesser-known setups to surprise your opponents.
