First, a disaster for Black in the Hyper Accelerated Dragon/c3 Hybrid:
             |
See Houska - Gaponenko.
Krejci - Cernousek gives some hope for Black in a critical 9 Bc4 Yugoslav Attack ...Qa5 line:
|
|
The critical position after 14...b4.
Next up, two Black victories in the Chinese variation:
|
|
Don't miss Chocenka - Sakalauskas and Chen Fan-Bu Xiangzhi
And then we have the good old 9 0-0-0 Yugoslav Attack starting with a 9...d5, Charbonneau - Snape.
Then the rare 9...Qa5:
|
|
AND Finally a 9...Bd7 which interestingly is the quickest Dragon victory by either colour in the TWICS post Megabase 2005.
I thought you might like to know that. (Note no divine intervention there as Jesus loses in 15 moves!).

Try to guess White's next move, a blunder!
Then play through De Andres Valvidia-Valden.
June will be soon, and Eric, drop me an e-mail some time.
Bye for now
