Often considered
too aggressive and even dubious for Black, the Sicilian Dragon went into dormancy at top levels.
But
world top 10 player Anish Giri made some startling findings in his opening research: not only is the Dragon perfectly playable, but you can
challenge White with the most ferocious lines the Sicilian has to offer.
The Dragon Has Reawakened
Grandmaster Giri has published a
full repertoire for his new, revitalized Dragon on Chessable, in which he's discovered ways to keep all the viciousness of the Dragon while counteracting the weaknesses. And to give you a sample of all its fiery majesty, he's offering this
free Short & Sweet course where you can learn the ropes
in just 24 lines.
If you love sharp, tactical openings, you must give this Dragon system a try!
You'll be launching
merciless tactical assaults on White's queenside castle, complete with piece sacrifices leading to
forced checkmates in many variations. And if White chooses to play a quieter variation, say with kingside castling, GM Giri has just the answer for dragging White back into the arena.
It's all about keeping your g7 Dragon bishop alive and in the fight. In every line, GM Giri shows you how to keep your pieces as active as possible - even if you need to sacrifice material to do it. What Black loses in material, he makes up double in the form of
piece activity and
king safety.
Black is down material, but checkmate is coming
In this course, you'll get:
🔥 A sample of
the boldest, most aggressive weapon against 1.e4 you've ever wielded
🔥 Expanded knowledge of
sharp, master-level tactics🔥
A deeper understanding of positional play, including when to sacrifice for the initiative
And it's all taught to you by a world top 10 player, no less! GM Giri has a remarkable talent for breaking down the complex, elite-level variations for advanced and intermediate players alike.
