To download the October '05 Dragon Sicilian games directly in PGN form click here:

Saric-Predojevic: The Marcozy Bind Black queenside fianchetto where Black aims for a quick, challenging ...d5:

Van Den Doel-Guseinov: The same Accelerated Dragon variation but with the odd looking but nevertheless inhibitive 10 Ndb5!?:

Drazic-Solak: An entertaining 'sort of' Classical Dragon but look out for a surprising trap I've discovered.

Kritz-Shabalov: A horribly handled (by White) 9 0-0-0 d5 variation:

but superb technique by Black.

Nagy-Tavoularis: We're back on the 9 Bc4 with ...Qa5 trail:

No theoretically useful answers but some standard combinations under the microscope.

Simek-Klima: Black delays ...Rfc8 in the less well known 9 Bc4 with ...Qc7 variation:

I like this game and are we seeing the start of something big!?

Schneider-Martinez: An encounter offering more hope for Black in the 'Modern emphasis on prophylaxis' (gee I love that title!) variation.

Well that's it for now. Keep the e-mails coming in!

Best wishes,

Chris
