Grandmaster and well-known Sicilian Dragon expert Simon Williams takes a totally fresh look at this famous opening.

Concentrating on his favourite Dragadorf Variation, the Sicilian variation in which Black plays both g6 and a6, Williams constructs a cutting-edge repertoire for Black, one which is perfect for the modern Dragon player who wishes to cause his opponents maximum problems in the opening.

Drawing upon his considerable experience and using illustrative games, Williams covers the key tactical and positional ideas for both players, and highlights crucial modern day themes such as the importance of move orders.

The Sicilian Dragon is a highly popular opening, ideal for players of all levels. It enjoys such a great appeal because it leads to fascinating and fun-to-play positions in which both players regularly attack each other’s kings with a complete lack of inhibition.
