The Monthly Dragon – 11. .. Qa5 Chris Ward’s nostalgic decision

We have a new show on ChessBase with Grandmaster Chris Ward. The Sicilian Dragon aficionado is back on-screen, and presents us games, news, moves, tactics, ideas, and much more about his “go to” opening each month. In the first episode, Chris is presenting us one of his own, rare dragon games, which he played quite recently. The English Grandmaster had a couple of options to continue with his dragon, but chose the good ol’ move 11. .. Qa5, which caused several mate threats a little later. | Photo: John Upham
