Chess Openings: How to Play the Dragon & Acc. Dragon!

[trevinomt24]

I don't understand why he flipped the board and still focused the majority of his discussion on white's strategy...

[melovepeas]

May somebody tell me why the white knight never takes c6, because that always happens to me in tournaments D:

[giyantube]

@melovepeas you are so right. It forces a pawn move. Why not?????

[Nokkvisv94]

@melovepeas The reason strong players don't capture on c6 is that it opens the b file and gives black good control over the center

[BtnchrY]

What about the hyper-accelerated Dragon?

[renumeratedfrog]

@BtnchrY Hyperaccelerated dragon is identical to accelerated, except the move order prevents white from playing Bb5 and avoiding the Rossolimo variation... It just basically eliminates the number of theories you have to remember.

[ChessYoshi]

@BtnchrY Isn't that pretty much an accelerated dragon, just avoiding the rossolimo variation?

These videos are great. You explain everything so clearly and with such great detail. Thank you so much. Glad to be a member of chess com

[giyantube]

just to change the subject: I want to know the name of this combination for black: 1. d4 Nf6 2. (some other move allowing:) Nc6. It immediately gives black advantage in development. I have used it with some success as it is unexpected. I want to research it further. Can anyone help?

[GUITARDRAG0N]

Hey is there a flip board option for chess.com ? and is it available for regular players?

@GUITARDRAG0N Log-on to chess.com and navigate to Live Chess >> Settings and then uncheck the (Show white on bottom) check box. The same can be done for Online Chess.

Have fun!
