His previous volume on the more widely known Sicilian Dragon dealt with lines arising from 2....dO and 5""".96" This new work, however, deals with three lesser ,/1,: known z systems:- & 1) the Accelerated Dragon (1.e4 c5 2" Nf3 Nc6 3, d4 cd zI" Nxd4 96) in which Bl-ack defers ..""d6 in favour of an earlj-er."""96, but has to contend with ttre tdreaded' Maroczy Bind (5"e4)" lt 1c UU 2) the semi-Accelerated Dragon (1" e4 c5 2" Nf3 Nc6 3" d4 cd 4" Nxd4 Nf6 5.

Repeatedly, Levy stresses the necess- includes a downstairs manoeuvre as ity for both personal analysis and tournament practice in lines which wefl! are still very unc3-ear and/or untested. This applies especially to the Hyper-accelerated Dragon" Levy says that this system has rso many things wrong with itr that he 'canrt understand \dhy it is ever played in master chess"' Having thus rrl:tbished it in his introduction, he then A& goes to great pains later in the text to stress the necessity for the AUMD olEN cHA@loNsHrP/qo@N' q cBNroNsHll'- reader to do his anaJ,ysis and reach his own conclusions - this is certain- 16 APUL 19?6 to 19 NRIL 1976 Iy not a '1ast wordr bookl 7 rcND S-rs Another important feature is the emphasis placed upon thenes" This is (e.g. &ons not a book of endless variations MCo, ECo) but conforms to the Arrckland chess 'entre ll crowell Str'P: Mt Eden Batsford tradition in explaining how a particular move fits into the total system and at the end of variations an idea ls given as to the I:nqrs!!rel. types of middle game strategies both sides will adopt, stressing the ::,HI;":",;:::"";";:,:'ilii'::::"::::"':: For average Itnish gme. be'tcen strengths and weaknesses present in the position. the ''ourds' club player ( like myself) who knows he should form a plan but doesn't Rouds: Eriday" saLurday & Sunday: know how to go about it, these themes give an important and necessary to 9-30 p'm' 9.oo a-m. to 1-oo P'n' dd 5'30 p'n understanding of the opening system.
