The Sicilian Defense is the most popular opening and one of the best responses to White’s first move 1.e4. One of the popular variations of this opening is the Dragon Variation. In the Dragon Variation, Black fianchettoes his dark-squared (kingside) bishop. It arises after the following moves: 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 g6
Although the Dragon bishop is mighty, Black needs to be careful because of White’s early attack on the kingside – with h5, and the queen-bishop battery’s motive to exchange the dragon bishop. Today we’re going to see a game played by GM Christopher Ward, an Expert in the Sicilian Dragon variation.
In this game, you will learn about the powerful resources for Black in this variation, especially the might Dragon Bishop. Ward coordinated his pieces very well and played a stunning move at move no.17, which turned things over. You can watch the instructive video analysis of this amazing game by RCA guest coach CM Tryfon Gavriel.
