Hyper Accelerated Dragon: Sicilian Defense
Vložit
- čas přidán 13. 01. 2021
- The Hyper Accelerated Dragon starts with the moves 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 g6. Black looks to make an early play for Bg7 while avoiding the move d6 that is played in the Dragon variation.
While this does keep white from playing the most aggressive variation, it still allows them to play the Maróczy Bind which can be troublesome for black.

Posting consistent videos for over 11 years. A legend.
We are still here!!!
@@chesswebsite man, you're awesome
first youtube chess channel I subscribed to, like ten years ago
Iconic voice yours, Kevin. I've been listening to ya for many years. Best wishes!
Thanks npgatech. Never thought of my voice as iconic but appreciate your kind words.
@@chesswebsite It definitely is!
I remember watching your fried liver attack video. 😃
I agree, great voice! It’s awesome he’s still making videos. 100
Can affirm. Iconic. The Halloween Gambit video was my intro to chess. 100
@@chesswebsite It definitely is, yours and ChessNetwork's voices took me from ~1300 to ~2000 over the past 10 years! It's great that you're both still around.
Woooooo Kevin rocking the face cam now. You go, king
I feel like I can improve quite a bit. Was my first time doing the commentary while recording my face. Hopefully it was still good.
Yes!! Totally agree super cool to get to know who has been behind the cam for all your videos!
Now I finally know what Kevin looks like! The voice of my chess conscience
Haha I've never been called a chess conscience before. That's fantastic.
I love your videos and I have been following them for many years.Good job on the new screen and so much better that we can see you.I learn a lot from you videos.Thanks Jerry/Kevin
Hey Kevin, I’ve only recently started watching the videos you uploaded 10 years ago and now that I’ve seen your current setup, I can definitely say that it has evolved. Well done. Keep uploading I’m here to stay. 100
100. I have played the HAD for several years and you did a nice job presenting the main ideas and lines. Please consider another video in this line as I have found this version of the dragon much better than the other two alternatives (accel. and regular dragon). BTW the layout and graphics look great!
Thanks a lot Kevin, i love your videos and definitely appreciate you adding your face to the mix. It makes the videos more engaging to me. 100
I appreciate that! Glad you like the new layout.
Awesome video, Kevin! Big fan of this opening (it's my go-to Sicilian, atm), and I'm always looking to learn more interesting lines/ideas. Thank you for making a video on it! 💯
I watch it full and it helped me get better in the sicilian defence!💯
I love the in depth openings, thank you
Bit late to this party but wanted a video on this opening and you popped up. Really cool to put a face to the iconic voice! You taught me all my openings when I started playing 8 years ago. 100!
100 - great stuff Kevin, nice to see who you are after all these years of watching and listening, you've been great help.
Thanks for the 100 Graham. Felt like it was a good time to start doing videos with my face.
new design looking really good Kevin, keep it up! excited for more of your content
Woohoo. Glad you like the new design.
4:01 start of Hyper Accelerated Dragon
5:38 first variation main line Nc3
6:00 Nxc6
10:26 Maroczy bind
14:59 Qd4 takes instead of knight
Super thorough! Thanks for the great lesson on my first Sicilian Defense variation. 💯
100% thank you very much for your insight and I like the camera set up haha. Seen your earlier videos also, and your earlier video covering the hyper accelerated dragon. Love it.
Nice. I love the hyper accelerated as well.
💯 thx for the great breakdown and great commentary. Very well paced.
100! Thanks for the lesson, I'm putting this to practice and I just love this opening!
100! This was the first longer video I watched on your channel. I enjoyed the slower pace of introducing each variation as I learned a new opening.
Thanks for the 100 Rogue. Glad you like the slower pace of the opening.
Yeah nice set up, lay out 💯. Concise and to the point as always.
nice explanation and as someone else said, a true iconic voice (now with a face too)!
Thank you for your time!
100 x thanks!
Appreciate the 100 Stefan. So funny to me that people think my voice is iconic. I guess I hear it all the time so I would never consider it like that.
Great layout and appreciate the chess opening series. An example match going along with the chess opening would be a nice addition. 100
Love to see the 100 Yama. I like the idea of adding an example match. Let me see what I can do for future videos.
100 Good, clear analysis of the Accelerated Dragon Sicilian Defense. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
100! Love the camera. It really adds to the quality/impact of the video. I'm sad some recent videos haven't had the camera. I'll be adding a comment expressing hope that it'll come back.
Thanks for the video. Really appreciate you going over the lines. 100!
Hi Kevin. It was a helpful video, thank you. I generally prefer accelerated dragon instead of the other two because of the more positional aspect. I love to see an AD video like this. 100
100% probably four times haha. I always come back to this video for a reference anytime I attempt to play the hyper-accelerated dragon. Thank you. 🙏🏻🤘🏻
Brilliant Kevin so helpful I have been wanting to play these lines
First time watching. Thanks for the great content 💯
I like the format and Layout!
100
Thanks Shakesbeer. Glad you like it. Appreciate the 100.
very nice analysis Kevin as always, like the format with the camera
Much appreciated! Glad you like the new format.
Kevin We Love the new Video format way of the future Bra.
BOOM. Glad you like it.
Great content as always!
Thank you so much Skizhu
Been listening to Kevin for at least a decade - nice to put a face to the voice!
Would love to have a in-depth analysis of the H.A.D looking forward to it! Also the layout of the screen looks great and very anesthetic, really digging it!
Very good lesson clear explained👏👏
I cant believe now i see your face. Lately i watched a lot of 10 yrs old videos from this channel to learn chess and your voice was always there guiding me!
The mystery has been revealed. Life makes sense now.
Enjoyed the video. Well done and easy to follow 💯
Glad you enjoyed it!
A mellifluous voice makes it easy to listen to the end.
Watched the whole thing, good stuff
Congratulations for the channel. Better with the camera. I watched until the end.
I learned a lot from the video I also like the setup with the face cam. No complaints from me. 100!
Glad you like the face cam. Appreciate the 100.
Thank you very much Kevin. It's a luxury have a teacher like you. 100!
Thanks for the 100 Mister R. I appreciate the kind words.
ITS HIS FACE!!!!!!!!!!!! AHhhhhhhHHHHHHHH.
EVERYONE PANIKKKKKK
insert "OMG IT'S HAPPENING" gif
it looks fairly normal to me
100. I have been playing the modern defense. Then I noticed some of my weaknesses, I tried to avoid that. I didn't know I was already playing the accelerated dragon. And now, I am trying to expand my theory in this line. And this video helped so much. Hope I remember them in the actual game. LOL
Quite thorough explain! Very like it
Thanks Darco.
100 thanks Kevin! Great video!
You bet!
Good format Kevin!
Thanks Mind Nova.
Thank you for the video! It was really helpful and easy to understand. 100

Wow it's been a while since you posted. Nice!

100 percent useful video. Thanks a lot. 100!
Thanks Raj. Love to see the 100.
Hey, I searched a few months back for a good video on hyper-accelerated Dragon because I used a somewhat similar opening when I played with my dad except he went for the closed Sicilian variation but I still managed to win. And I am downloading most of your videos offline so that I can watch them even when I don't have a network connection. Thanks a lot for making videos. and it would be nice if you made a video on how to analyze deep in any given position. 100 (I watched almost till the end.)
Appreciate the feedback.
100 I really liked the video!! I eas looking for some videos about this opening and your is really good, shows the main responses to it, without over extending the lines. 100
Thanks Matheus and appreciate seeing the 100.
Glad you're not being camera shy anymore, layout looks great. 100
I figured it was time to show the face :)
Thank you for doing the H.A.D. I’m playing this often and have gone wrong
H.A.D. FTW

Kevin, fantastic video! I have been watching your videos for over a year now. Could you make a video on other lines in the hyper accelerated dragon. 💯🙏
Any lines in particular you'd like to see?
I’m 1300 and starting to take an interest in the sicil for da kill! Will check out your other videos. I’d play this setup bc it’s a badass name “hyper accelerated dragon”. Boom baby! 100
Glad you like the layout. thanks for the 100.
