The Sicilian Dragon is is a sharp chess opening for Black and is suitable for players who love to play aggressively and go all out in battle. There’s no better person to teach you how to emerge victorious than Sicilian Dragon expert, GM Ron W. Henley.
GM Henley, aside from being a strong player in his own right, acted as second, analyst and trainer for former World Chess Champion Anatoly Karpov in many of his matches in the 1990s. Ron also trained 7-time US Women’s Champion, GM Irina Krush.
This live stream is the third and final part of a series of lessons from the popular chess coach on the Accelerated Dragon. Ron has already introduced viewers to the Accelerated Dragon from Black’s perspective, taking a look at various Accelerated Dragon setups with the help of games that have been played by his students.
In part 2, Ron showed how to deal with the dangerous Yugoslav Attack, probably the fiercest response from White. Now, you’ll learn how to deal with the Maroczy Bind. Ron will show how the Maroczy Bind has lost a lot of its punch nowadays, but that Black must seek out active counterplay or else be strangled out of the game.
The Maroczy Bind was considered for a long time as the most uncomfortable set-up against the Sicilian Defense, but modern practice shows that black does have some ideas they can do to try and break through. The position is not easy to play by any means, and Ron’s suggested way to deal with the Maroczy Bind revolves around the Breyer variation with 9…e5, a move that was favored by Mikhail Botvinnik and his student Garry Kasparov.
