Introduction
The principal objective of the Accelerated Dragon variation of the Sicil
ian, which arises ater l.e4 c5 2.j3 Jc6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Jxd4 g6, could
be described in two ways. Explnation one says that Black keeps his
pan on d7 in the hope of going the Dragon variation one beter nd
playing ... d7-d5 in one jump, as opposed to its more popular cousin,
where ... d7-d6-d5 is the modus operandi. Another way to lok at the
Accelerated is as an attempt to play something akin to the Dragon, but
where the chnces of getting mated are much less.
The lip side of the move order is that White has the opportunity to play
5.c4, setting up the Maroczy Bind, something hite can never do in the
Dragon. It's no accident that of the 212 games in this bok, almost 75
percent feature the Maroczy. Not only is it an ironclad way of control
ling d5, but it also arises from diferent move orders. In fact, in Grand
master chess, the Bind is much more likely to arise from l.J3 or l.c4
than l.e4.
However, the Marcoczy Bind is not the all-powerul line it was once
thought to be. In paticular, the line 5 . .jf6 6.Jc3 d6 followed by
... Jxd4, has an excellent theoretical reputation while interest in lines
like 5 ... ig7 6.ie3 Jf6 7.Jc3 Jg4 8.Yxg4 Jxd4 9.Ydl e5 sug
gest Black may .have more than one answer. Note however that Black
will have a hard time winning against a White player looking to draw.
The danger of getting a drawish position early on is not a worry for
Black against 5.Jc3 but 5.c4 is another matter.
Players loking to avoid drawish options for White have been experi
menting with slight deviations from the Accelerated Dragon move or
der. While the Semi-Accelerated (l.e4 c5 2.J3 Jc6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Jxd4
Jf6 5.Jc3 g6?!) is a por proposition for Black the Hyper-Acceler
ated (l.e4 c5 2.J3 g6) is worthy of consideration and can be recom
mended to those who like to experiment and are willing to allow the
