1. e4 {First let me say that I have a heap of dragons from both sides of the
board in ICCF correspondence.� I have found "Chess Developments - the Sicilian
Dragon" by David Vigorito to be exceptionally useful. I have found a new move 
in the Modern variation which needs to be examined. (I found it just too late
to spring it in correspondence play.)} c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5.

Kb1 a6 {Played by Magnus Carlsen as black against V. Topalov} (12... Re8 {is
the move usually played. David deals with it exceptionally well. I cannot
comment further as I am playing this line in high level correspondence.}) 13.
h4 h5 14. g4 hxg4 15. h5 Nxh5 16. Rdg1 {This is where I have found a new move
for black.} Rc4 {In my opinion white can keep the advantage against other
moves that have been tried by black.} 17. Bxc4 (17.fxg4 Bxg4 (Nf6 {me} 18. Nf5! {Houdini and now gxf5, Nf3, Ne4, Rxc3 all seem to lose})18.Rxg4 Rxd4 19.Bxd4 Nxg4 20.Qg5 e6 21.Qxg4 Bxd4 22.Rxh5 {PatzerNoster also Houdini})� Nxc4 18. Qd3 Nxe3 {Black has
managed to swap off both of white's bishops.} 19. Qxe3 {Looking at the
imbalances in the position is revealing. Black has two bishops and at least
one extra pawn versus rook and knight. With the players castling on opposite
sides the position looks totally unbalanced.� I let Houdini analyze the
position and the longer it analyzed the more it liked the black position}
