The Accelerated Dragon: Crush White with the Sicilian Defense

Many chess players struggle to find a decent chess opening for Black against 1.e4. It is tough to find a good chess opening which fulfills the following three criteria:

A sound and solid opening system which can be played regularly and which does not rely on tricks cheap traps

A chess opening system which does not force you to learn an endless amount of theory in order to survive the first 15 moves
An opening which does not allow White to play variations which more or less lead to a forced draw but enables you to go for the full point against weaker players

The good news: Today GM Damian Lemos shares his knowledge on a chess opening which meets all the 3 points – the Accelerated Dragon.

Play the Accelerated Dragon in the Sicilian Defence and crush White players who start with 1.e4.
