Sicilian Defence Dragon - Accelerated Dragon · Maroczy · c3 · Author's System #1013427

This volume presents a practical repertoire for Black against 1.e4, built around the Accelerated Dragon and related Sicilian structures. The book is based on 134 real games and follows each game through three connected stages: Preparation, Key Moment, and Conversion. The training system contains 495 tasks: 396 preserved historical solutions, 6 Stockfish 18 control lines, and 93 author positions.
The repertoire focuses on the Accelerated Dragon, Maroczy structures, the central ...d5 resource, g3 fianchetto systems, and practical approaches against an early c3. Historical games are preserved unchanged, while Stockfish 18 is used as an independent quality-control tool.
The method is designed to develop independent chess thinking: understand the structure, identify the plan, calculate the continuation, and apply the ideas in practical play. The book is integrated with the ChessMasterPro training system for active solving, repetition, and practical testing.
