I want to use the hyper acceleraded dragon sicilian, because I'd rather face the maroczy bind than the yugoslav attack.
Although I'm not even sure that's right.
I tried to look for it in the P. V D. Sterren's FCO but the hyper is just mentioned in a paragraph (as a nameless alternative route to the accelerated). I looked for it in de Firmian's MCO-15 and there is absolutery nothing! ( looked for the lines, and for the alternative name hungarian variation.)
Do these books actually have the lines I'm looking for and I just didn't find it out of stupidity?
Am I looking for something that "doesnt even exist" and the accelerated dragon is what I'm actually after?
Thank you guys for any insights.
Just to clarify, the Accelerated Dragon is an early Nc6, either before or after g6, while the Hyper Accelerated Dragon tries to avoid Nc6 to castle earlier. The true Hyper Accelerated Dragon is unsound and therefore does not have a lot of theory published.
The bible on the Accelerated Dragon is "Accelerated Dragons" by Donaldson and Silman. "Chess Openings for Black, Explained" by Alburt, Dzidzichashvili, and Perelshteyn is a brief overview, but does explain the plans better.
...
i think that u should probably find another opening lol,maybe a najdorf sicilian
The only thing I wanted to do was to avoid the rossolimo. Thank you for that, although I'm not looking for anything as deep as the Bible for it, I don't even have the skills for something like that. I want something like a few superficial pages FCO style.
What I want to play is 1. E4 c5 2. Nf3 g6 3. D4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 bg7 5. Nc3 nc6
But thanks, now I will look to the accelerated.
I used to play the najdorf but now I want something that doesn't have so much theory and something trickier, both to have the advantage of playing unusually and to be forced to develop my tactics
My coach @Lance5500 had me simply use the Nc6 classical Sicilian.
I think the trap of avoiding main lines and normal variations due to fear of attacks is something we just have to get over, it holds us back. We should be able to battle and refute those lines where possible and play in the position.
GM Bryan Smith helped me with plans and lines for the classical Sicilian via https://www.ichess.net/sale/sicilian-bryan-smith-youtube-offer/ - Some lines do transpose into dragon-ish lines (like where white g3 Bg2).
Youtube video explaining it (a small portion of the entire lecture series).

If you still want to stay with Hyper accel dragon, GM Roman Dzindzichashvili has some lectures on it in his Roman's Lab series.
Such as with #66 https://www.ichess.net/shop/new-and-improved-accelerated-dragon-gm-roman/
I like his KID lines Roman's Lab video (unrelated, but he is a good teacher).
Wether you face St. George attack (Yugoslav when in Dragon) or the Bind will make no difference on your rating. Especially at your level you can play both or either or neither. What will matter is tactics training that should replace your opening preparation. If you get smashed in Yugoslav then play it yourself and see what people do against it. Check a couple of YouTubes and books and run a computer check of your game.
In fact the ol Soviet way would be to have people of your level play open games and even dangerous gambits (Capablanca’s Recommendation as well) to teach you more about the game.
As someone mentioned above Perelsteyn’s book is really good for Hyper Dragon (2...g6 instead of 2...Nc6, avoiding Rossolimo). But again, why bother avoiding Rossolimo or Yugoslav? Again, this makes zero difference on your rating.
I remember reading in a Russian chess textbook that people were basically told to play open games and do tactics until they get to 2400... Only then they would even just start to look into closed games and develop an opening repertoire etc.
As black I regularly play VS the Bind and VS Yugoslav. Neither one should scare you.
What open games/ dangerous gambit do you recommend?
#8 oh, I can’t recommend any, I just told you what I read and heard, you’d need some GM or master coach tell you. I imagine Capa and the Russians meant the likes of King’s, Scotch and Albin gambits, and Italian game etc.
But again, it’s not like Soviets learned this in their after school chess school, no, they just did tactics and played simple aggressive openings like 1 e4, 2 Nf3, 3 Bc4 VS everything, lol, at least a buddy of mine who did that told me.
Panjwani's Second Edition is hot off the press. Don't waste your time with videos. They're for the weak.
