Sicilian Dragon: Classical and Levenfish Variations by Laszlo Sapi and Attila Schneider
Written by Grandmasters Laszlo Sapi and Attila Schneider, this detailed opening guide examines two important branches of the Sicilian Dragon Defence: the Classical Variation and the Levenfish Variation. The book provides a practical study of one of the most dynamic and aggressive systems in the Sicilian Defence, where Black accepts strategic risks in exchange for active counterplay and attacking chances.
The authors explain the key strategic ideas behind the Dragon setup, including Black’s fianchettoed g7-bishop, rapid development, pressure on the long diagonal, and queenside counterplay. The book covers both the more positional Classical Variation (6.Be2) and the sharper Levenfish Attack (6.f4), helping players understand the typical plans, tactical themes, and complex middlegame positions that arise from these systems.
