Maroczy bind is fine versus the accelerated dragon even though Nc3 is mainline. | ||

are you thinking c4-> then if he bg7 we be3.. if he nf6 we nc3 lets say he does bg7 and we be3, he then does nf6 and we nc3 .. in that order what are our goals? he will probably castle if he does this.... | ||

I thought we were better than that.... English attack system FTW!!!! Also, I'll do anything to prevent going into a maroczy bind system. + Show Spoiler + Also from my experience the best way to deal with the dragon is to push out with the H pawn and screw up his pawn formation then swoop in for the kill. | ||

Nevertheless, I like 5. c4. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Doesn't playing against the Accelerated Dragon like you would normally against the Dragon allow black to equalize comfortably with an early d5? | ||

Here is a scene in my mind: 5c4 Bg7 6Be3 Nf6 7Nc3 0-0 8Be2 d6 9 0-0 Bd7 10 Qd2 Nxd4 11 Bxd4 Bc6 12f3 a5 13 b3 Nd7 14Be3 Nc5 15Rab1 Qb6 16Rfc1 Rfc8 After this its really complicated. But we have the upperhand in this variation: 17Rc2 Qd8 18a3 b6 19b4 axb4 20 axb4 Na4 21 Nd5 Whats ur opinion? | ||

I think we would all agree with the fact that we want "whatever move will confer an advantage" and that mid/late game is important. When we get there we will hopefully put up a good fight. In the meantime we have an opening to play. Agreed with goldrush & his concern above. | ||

WGM is a different title from GM (far lower requirements for WGM) but in any case, there are a few women who're full-fledged GM's right now. | ||

My thoughts+ Show Spoiler + I play a lot of games from this position (otherwise you end up in a king's indian, and why would you want to let them use their heavy home prep?). 5.c4 is THE move of choice in this position. Otherwise, black can equalise fairly comfortably after normal developing moves and a quick d5, even if it comes as a sacrifice (black's positions holds A LOT potential engergy). The real question for us, is, do we want do meet Nc6 with Be3, or a knight retreat (c2 would be standard, to eventually come to e3 later in the game to attack the d5 square). This may seem slow, but it works, given the space advantage white has (and that we can play for b4 and f4 as well). | ||
