Overview

Sicilian Defense: Dragon Variation, Accelerated Dragon is a specific line in the Semi-Open Games family (ECO B54), arising from a recognised theoretical position.

The Semi-Open Games group covers semi-open games — replies to 1.e4 where Black declines the symmetrical 1…e5 in favour of an asymmetric pawn structure.

It begins with 8 plies and takes 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 g6 to reach the canonical position.

The line refines Sicilian Defense, which traces back to the root opening King's Pawn Game.
