N. L. Levy stands as a definitive guide to one of the most dynamic and combative variations in all of chess theory. Part of the Contemporary Chess Openings series edited by R. G. Wade, this volume systematically details the Dragon Variation of the Sicilian Defence — named for the fanciful resemblance of Black's pawn structure to the silhouette of a dragon — offering both historical context and rigorous analytical depth for club players and serious competitors alike.\n\nLevy presents a thorough, structured examination of the key lines, tactical motifs, and strategic ideas that define this razor-sharp opening, instructing the reader on how to wield its double-edged nature to maximum effect on both sides of the board. Published by Chess Digest Inc. of Dallas, Texas, this work belongs to a respected lineage of opening manuals that shaped modern chess literature in the latter half of the 20th century. Whether you are looking to unleash the Dragon as Black or to tame it as White, this volume will leave you questioning just how mythical its reputation truly is.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203229065435,"sku":"2026100009640-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/6e825d99-441f-41bd-a8c8-7e7226256fa5.png?v=1788146221","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100009640-secondhand-the-sicilian-dragon","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
