Download PGN of July '06 Dragon Sicilian games

Anyway without further ado, this month I have some Yugoslav Attacks for you, starting with three 9 Bc4 Yugoslav's with ...Qa5:

Yep, it continues to be played even at high levels but in truth there is nothing particularly new to report on...

The whole of Meijers - Gaponenko has been played before, although in the previous examples White didn't resign so early! Another curious fact is these two are husband and wife ...! Humm?!

Hansen - Roeder brought back all sorts of painful memories of my game against John Nunn that I detailed in my WWTD2 book and here, as well.

This is the position after 17...Re8.

In Mista - Cernousek after 17 e5:

Black tried 17...dxe5?!, instead of retreating his knight, but it was no improvement.

Staying with 9 Bc4, but this time with 9...Nxd4, we have Korbut - Zakurdjaeva featuring 10...Be6:

an old favourite variation of Bent Larsen's.

Then there is a 9 0-0-0 d5 variation in Kjartansson - Nagy:

There can be no denying that 14...Re8, reaching the diagram position, still remains the main line.

And to wrap things up, Domany - Kojovic is a a trendy Dragadorf encounter...

That's it for now. Stay tuned.
