Secrets of Opening Surprises

Aug-24-05    mind: One of the benefits of this opening is that:white creates a good defensive position and at the same time,the pieces are well developed. Feb-26-06    gebminds: Yes, but the line leads to more boring and less active play. the intentions behind the Yugoslav Attack (moves f3, Bc4 and Qd2 by white)are completely isolated from the picture. I play the dragon often, and find that in classical variations, the games are usually a draw. Feb-19-07    WannaBe: Have to study this opening... And possibly all it's side variations. Gonna be a looooong project.
