Sicilian Defence, Dragon Variation [edit]
The logical continuation is 6...Bg7.
Black might be tempted to play 6...Ng4, intending to chop off White's dark-squared Bishop, which would strengthen the Black Bishop soon arriving at g7. But this is a beginner's mistake, it loses horribly to 7.Bb5+:
- 7...Nd7 8.Qxg4 wins a Knight
- 7...Bd7 8.Qxg4 also wins the Knight, since the Bishop on d7 is pinned
- 7...Nc6 8.Nxc6 bxc6 9.Bxc6+, forking King and Rook
