Sicilian Dragon Lines
There is no doubt that the Dragon variation of the Sicilian is still one of the most attractive options for black against 1.e4, especially at club level and beginners. The main reason for this is the aggressive nature of this variation where black places his bishop on the long diagonal with the intention of fighting for the initiative from the very start of the game. Nowadays, the Dragon is not that popular among the elite players; however, in the past it served well to players like Tiviakov, Topalov, Ivanchuk or Kasparov. Even the world champion Magnus Carlsen played it successfully at some point and no one is really sure why he stopped using it. The dynamic nature of this opening attracts the chess enthusiasts, but at the same time it pushes more experienced Grandmasters away from it. The last category of players usually tends to avoid lines in which the play is sharp and doubled edged because the risk of losing is higher than in other openings.
