MSK Chess's video: English Opening - Reversed Dragon

The English opening, dragon reversed is an excellent way to meet blacks most popular move against the English opening of 2...Nf6. Some of the typical plans and ideas included attacking the centre from the flanks with a queen side minority attack which black is best placed to curtail with a move like ...a5. attempting to prove the the e5 square is weak as one often does in the Sicilian defence. A typical exchange sacrifice of c6 which often shatters blacks queen side pawn structure and renders the e5 square weak. It sometimes occurs that white can change the pawn structure in the centre and make use of his extra central pawn. The positions that arise are dynamic and exciting to play and it often transpires that black pushes to quickly and too aggressively he can be punished. this is especially true if he tries to delay castling with a move like 8...Bg5 or the ultra aggressive 8...g5 playing as if he is on the white side of a Keres attack. My thanks go to those who material i have used in order to present a subject which is notoriously dry in a more interesting and informative fashion. Getting the balance in chess videos is not easy. I apologise for any mistakes in advance I am not a chess professional nor a titled player, simply a rather weak amateur who enjoys chess immensely and who likes to combine it with other creative pursuits. My thanks go to the open source software community, especially those who coded Ubuntu studio , it is without a doubt the best creative suit on the internet. https://www.facebook.com/msk.chess https://www.chess.com/blog/robbie_196... chess, echecs , ajedrez , xadrez , shahmati , szachy , sjakk , schach , schaken , satranj , шахматы , شطرنج
