Hi: Clearly, Accelerated Dragons are not only faster than the normal dragon
variations, but offer richer, and more uncharted, imaginative play.  I recommend
our book, 'Accelerated Dragons', by John Donaldson & Jeremy Silman, 320 p.p.,
published, 1998, Cadogan press.

No, really - The classical dragon is a much better choice.  Didn't you ever see
the classic demonstration, Fischer-Larsen, Portoroz, 1958? (game 2 in Bobby
Fischer's, 'My 60 memorable Games'). Anyway, you can win beautiful games from
either side if you read my book, 'Winning With The Dragon', by Chris Ward, 208
p.p., Batsford, published 1994.  What? - you think its a little dated?, Well
then, subscribe to my site at, www.chesspublishing.com  You won't be sorry!
Chris Ward.

Just kidding (or am I?)...
