Hyper Accelerated Dragon: Sicilian Defense
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.

First time watching. Thanks for the great content 💯
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
I love the in depth openings, thank you
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! 💯
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!
Yeah nice set up, lay out 💯. Concise and to the point as always.
I watch it full and it helped me get better in the sicilian defence!💯

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.)
