Hyper-accelerated Dragon move orders

This week GM Perelshteyn walks us through the ins and outs of the Hyper-Accelerated Dragon: Why you might choose this over other Dragons, what you should think about when choosing an opening in general, and how to use a deep knowledge of plans and ideas to outmaneuver a strong opponent.

In the game he was able to break down a 2000+ rated opponent with deceptive ease and simplicity using these concepts. Whether you want to incorporate these lines into your own repertoire, or apply the overall strategy to an opening you already play, it’s eye-opening stuff.
