message: Any value in including some analysis on this line? Pretty common response to prevent 9. ...d5 without committing bishop to c4  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.29.176.52 (talk) 17:42, 11 December 2017 (UTC)

message: What does "unencyclopedic info" supposed to mean. The earlier commentry was lively, and has been replaced by dry prose. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.64.136.124 (talk • contribs) 12 June 2007
:"Unencyclopedic" usually refers to original research or personal opinions — see Wikipedia:Five pillars. I suppose it could also refer to unreferenced claims. --ZeroOne (talk | @) 09:11, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

message: what does sharpest mean in this context?? I'm not sure what word to change it to, but I feel it should be changed, its essential for the article and ambiguous in its meaning  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Walker9010 (talk • contribs) 04:21, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: That is correct chess terminology, and it has a link now.  Basically it means that you are playing very hard for a win, even at an increased risk of losing, and tactical versus stratigic.  Bubba73 (talk), 04:42, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

message: I'm pretty sure the "trap" line mentioned here is wrong.  After 6. f4 Bg7 7. e5 Ng4 8. Bb5+ Kf8, black is perhaps unhappy, but he isn't losing a piece.  After the wikipedia line, 9.Ne6+??, white just loses his knight after the simple response 9...Bxe6.  The game is over, but in black's favor.  I could have missed something major here, but otherwise this should be changed.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.247.166.35 (talk) 20:02, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

message: Can we please have a reference to the game by GM Mikhail Golubev, mentioned in the section Yugoslav Attack with 9.0-0-0, where Golubev plays the queen sacrifice? Who was his opponent? In what year was this game played please?

replies: text: I checked the databases and Golubev's book and it seems he hasn't actually played the sac himself. The move 11.e5 was introduced by Leonid Milov against Golubev, who got into a worse position after 11...Nd7 12.Bxd4 Nxe5 13.Qe3. It was when analyzing the position later that Golubev found the queen sac, which was apparently also found independently by a "J. Diaz" and first played at the board (as far as I can tell) by Juan Pablo Seminara in the 1997 Argentinian championship. MaxBrowne (talk) 04:55, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

message: I propose merging Sicilian Defence, Accelerated Dragon into this article. The article is somewhat short. Mast303 (talk) 02:58, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: They are fundamentally different openings, with very different styles of play. The traditional accelerated dragon also comes from 2. Nc6, not 2. d6 ( making them different types of sicilian ) 2607:9880:1B40:0:3189:E5E8:1E83:360A (talk) 01:35, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

text: The names may have the same word "Dragon" But they are completely different, I disagree. We could get a considerable amount like on the Najdorf article. Jishiboka1 (talk) 04:36, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
