They say that the Dragon Variation of the Sicilian Defense is the sharpest opening in all of chess. Opposite sides castling and quick pawn storms are what make it very hard and very fun to play for both sides!
In part one, I will be going over the most popular variation of the Dragon, the Yugoslav Attack (starting with 6. Be3). In part two, I will cover four alternatives for white on move 6: f4, Bc4, g3, Be2.
If you are unfamiliar with the basics of the Sicilian Defense, here is an introductory video I made that covers the main opening principles and common variations: youtu.be/impkeLfyyVM
