Dec-29-03    refutor: the maroczy bind seems strong to me (for white) but i guess it's not all it's cracked up to be or else no one would play the accelerated dragon :) any general ideas on playing against the maroczy bind to a guy who would prefer to play ..d5 in one move in the dragon instead of two? :) Jan-06-04    actual: I've been interested in the accelerated dragon lately so let's see...I think some ideas for Black are to blockade white on the queenside with a5 and use the weakness of the d4 square and exchange pieces to free up some space. White will try to avoid exchanges and try to slowly expand on the queenside. I think this is one of the main Maroczy bind positions in the accelerated dragon 1.e4 c5 2.♘f3 ♘c6 3.d4 cxd4 4.♘xd4 g6 5.c4 ♗g7 6.♗e3 ♘f6 7.♘c3 0-0 8.♗e2 d6 9.0-0 ♗d7 10.♕d2 ♘xd4 11.♗xd4 ♗c6 12.f3 a5 Apr-08-05    WannaBe: What I do not understand is the 7...Ng4 8. Qxg4 Nxd4 9. Qd1, Ne6. What are both side trying to accomplish? Can someone shed some light on this? Thanks. Aug-02-05    get Reti: I have the same question as <WannaBe>. Why 9...♘e6 instead of ♘c6? It looks cool but it blocks the e-pawn. Nov-29-05    vampiero: well the d and e pawns on the 7th rank are especially weak and its even more obvious when the pawn goes to d6 and the e7 pawn can be selected as a longterm strategical target. Also, my moving the Black knight to e6 he can move to the kingside in case of an attack. The rook is also free to concentrate on the semi-open c-file. Another typical thing i like to do is to have the a Pawn b6/Night c5/Pawn d6 structure Nov-29-05    vampiero: check the games of Petrosian, although he has more losses than wins, the way he plays is very thematic Sep-24-06    soughzin: I dont understand why this has such a bad percentage for black. Looking at the lines it seems like equal positions to me. Jun-30-07    ChessDude33: <wannabe> and <get Reti> Ng4 is an attempt to trade pieces and relieve blacks somewhat cramped position while at the same time reducing whites influence over d4. 9.Qd1 is played because it best handles the Nc2+ and d5 threats. It also keeps an eye on d5 and may jump to the queenside if needed(where white has a spatial advantage). now...about 9...Ne6 i myself like the move since it gaurds against threatened Nc7+ and can help with kingside diversionary starting with g5(and possibilities of Be5 and/or Nf4). but Like vamipiero said it can also jump to the more active c5 if needed for defense on the queenside. <It looks cool but it blocks the e pawn> pushing the e pawn is usually asking for a beating on the dark squares. I'm no expert on the line but i do play it alot, hope I helped. Aug-09-07    get Reti: I play strictly d4 as white (QGD and Nimzo) but I'm still not sure how to respond to 1.e4 as black. Could this line be good? After Ne6 is played, the knight has a mobility of four full squares, and so does the dark bishop. Once the queen goes to a5, the bishop goes to b7, and the rook goes to c8, every piece seems actively placed. Even though black has no pawn center, his longe range pieces use this to their advantage. Jul-07-08    Cactus: <get reti> This is a really late responce but anyway... John Emms puts it well in his Chess Survival Guide. It all depends on two main things: Your style and how much time you have for chess. For example, if you are an attacking player, but have no time to study theory, the Alekine's defence might be rigtht for you. Also, you have to take into account how much you mind being cramped. If you have some time to study (though not too much is needed) and you don't mind cramped positions, then the Accelerated Dragon might be right for you (though in my personal opinion this is really a very unsound opening. Black gets very few counterchances).
