Hello! This game is one that I created while Studying the Sicilian Dragon. One messup by white, and black leaps way ahead. |

1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 g6
|
Sicilian Dragon |

|
|
6. Be3 Bg7 7. f3
|
This is my favorite line, the Yugoslav. |
|
| |
|
|
7... O-O 8. Qd2 Nc6 9. Bc4 Bd7 10. O-O-O Rc8
|
This position looks fairly normal, doesn't it? White is supposed to play Bb3 here, but instead, he messes up. |
|

|
11. g4
|
g4?????? That was a huge error, thanks to blacks series of discovered attacks that put him into a winning game. |
|
| |
|
|
11... Nxd4
|
Nxd4! Black now posts a discovered attack on the c4 bishop. White can't capture 12. Bxd4 like he wants to. |

12. Qxd4 Nxg4
|
That move gains a pawn, with a discovered attack on the queen. If 13.Qd3 then Ne5. If 13.Qd2 then Rxc4. If 13.Qd5 then Nxe3. Qxa7 wouldn't work either. |

13. Bxf7+
|
The best option, in my opinion. |
|
| |
|
|
13... Rxf7 14. Qd2 Nxe3 15. Qxe3 Bxc3 16. bxc3 Qa5
|
White's Position is opened up. |

17. Kb1 Rc5

Trying to get the rook into the action. |
|
| |
|
|
18. Rd4 Rb5+ 19. Ka1
|
Rb4 loses another pawn. |
|
| |
|
|
19... Qa3 20. Rb1
|
Stopping mate |
|
| |
|
|
20... Be6
|
Be6! A huge threat, not stoppable unless... |
|

21. Rd5 Bxd5 22. exd5

White resigns here. He's down a whole rook. This game shows how one simple messup in the sicilian dragon can cost the game. |
