The Dragon Volume Two by Gawain Jones (miękka okładka)

The Dragon, Volume Two by Gawain Jones is an English-language paperback chess book on the Dragon Defence, with a sharp repertoire focus on the Yugoslav Attack and 9.0-0-0.

What this book covers

This second volume of Gawain Jones’s repertoire work takes you through the lines that matter most when Black chooses the Dragon. Alongside the main Yugoslav Attack coverage, it also examines the classical variation and other less common White tries.

The book combines explanation of the key ideas with modern analysis, so it works both as a study guide for memorising variations and as a way to understand the typical plans, structures and tactical motifs that arise in the Dragon Defence.

Why choose volume two?

If you are building a Black repertoire against 1.e4, this volume focuses on the sharpest and most demanding continuations for White. It is a practical choice for players who want opening preparation shaped by real tournament experience rather than a bare move list.

It is also well suited to ambitious club players and tournament players who want to play dynamically, fight for the initiative and deepen their understanding of the modern Dragon.
