This new edition features bigger diagrams and discusses all of the important principles of the Dragon from the opening, including the latest moves and developments, to the endgame maneuvers. Readers learn all the key strategic and tactical ideas, but unlike most modern chess books, massive amounts of theory are eschewed in favor of presenting the critical opening ideas so that readers understand how to play the popular opening lines with skill, gusto and winning results.
