I find it interesting that I was on the Internet searching for the ideas in the Sicilian Dragon and found this article on Silman's website. Once again, I learn not to listen to what someone says just because they say it is right...Shabalov and Vitolins are two strong players who have played "my" idea, which was degraded, and so I immediately looked away. But true to my fashion and style of play, Bg5 is a good move IN a key context. I recommend reading this article and taking a second look at a move "I" discovered.

Let me get this straight, you think you discovered the move 6 Bg5 in the dragon ?
I think the quotations clearly indicate that he is referring to personal discovery not discovery for the world.

Like Rhino said, I didn't imply that I was the first to discover it. I discovered it not in a book, but by staring at the board. Then I asked for people's opinion, and only found one person with a negative outlook on the move. I was pleased to find GMs essaying the move that I found. In no way, don't think I am claiming myself to be the first to find this move. I am just happy to have discovered a quality idea that other Dragon players discredited. It helps me to realize that just because someone says my idea is bad, doesn't really mean it is bad. I come up with my own ideas all the time, some bad, and some good, and slowly I have improved my opening play over the years. Sorry for the confusion.
Well that is chess. Not all people will have the same idea's or beliefs about different openings. But that does not matter. You play what you have found to work or until proven otherwise. That is simply the beauty of chess, so many different possibities.
I don't normally play 1. e4, and I especially don't normally touch theoretical arguments that often - I don't really believe in them. I simply want to play chess.
Here is my question...I was looking at the Dragon position, and I began to look at Bg5 after g6...does anyone have any experience in this? I see that if Black tries...e5, it is not to his benefit. I saw that Black can play ...e6, but White has pretty nice results with the couple of games shown according to stats.
Does anyone have a good response to this idea?
