The Yugoslav is a great attack on the Siclian Dragon's Kingside before black can attack your queenside. I show a game I played in real time of my successful attack on my opponent, shredding his kingside open.
Try to see if you can solve the mate in 7 moves near the end. Every move is forced.
The game of Chess has been played for thousands of years and there are so many different variations any move of any game can take. I will explore as many as I can on this channel and my website to share my love of the game with you!
