It’s St George’s Day and that means only one thing… yes, it’s time for to indulge in our annual delve into my Sicilian Dragon database in order for me to trouble you with another sub-standard, error-strewn affair. At least it ought to be entertaining!
Anyone interested in a more extensive survey of the Sicilian Dragon might be interested in taking a look at these three previous posts from St. George’s Days gone by.
- A Dragon for Saint George 24/04/2012
- Come on and do the Conga! 23/04/2011
- Dragon Day 24/04/2010
In this year’s effort I’ll be covering a very topical sideline of the Dragon where White avoids playing Bc4 and Black takes the opportunity to break out in the centre.

I had a few tussles with Mahoutsoukai, he was a really good guy to play against, played the Dragon himself as Black if I remember correctly. Knight endings are very difficult indeed!
