In this book (the second of two volumes), the authors deal with White's attempts to neutralize the Dragon bishop without exposing him or herself to excessive risk, as can happen in the Yugoslav Attack. Despite this, Black has many sharp and aggressive ways to play for a win, and all dedicated players of the Dragon (and the Dragon slayers too!) will find this an indispensable source of ideas.
This volume investigates the strategic viability of the Classical and Levenfish variations within the Sicilian Dragon chess opening. The authors, Attila Schneider and Laszlo Sapi, provide a technical analysis of White's defensive maneuvers against the Dragon bishop, focusing on methods to neutralize Black's pressure without incurring the high-risk complications typical of the Yugoslav Attack. The text serves as a specialized manual for players seeking to understand the tactical nuances and positional trade-offs inherent in these specific lines.
