Which would you rather NOT face as black?

Either one!  I avoid both the Dragon and Accelerated Dragon like the plague!

Nothing, Russians have no fears. grin.png More seriously, usually U lose just cuz your opponent is stronger independently of the chosen opening. peshka.png

Actually we lose cuz of our own blunders. peshka.png

Probably the Maroczy Bind, but that's why I don't play the Accelerated.  I have no fear from the Yugoslav because I play it as White (so I know it's strengths and weaknesses) and I play the hybrid Dragondorf, where if people play it as a typical Yugoslav, they could end up with an awkwardly placed queen and no real attack.

 

But the real reason I commented it because Solar is my Mamamoo bias, so *high five.*

Anyway the Maroczy Bind annoys me. I play it as white but since i've just started studying, it really irritates me whenever I face it. I really want to play the Accelerated Dragon tho :<

The Marcozy Bind is really threatening against black because white has a lot of pressure and he can really make you feel unstable. The Yugoslav black can develop and counter

Both seem to be losing, or close to losing, for Black with perfect play.

Now, don't start bashing me - this is my experience with SF and larger game databases.

How certain am I?

Not very certain - only 90%, for the rest 10%, I can very well be wrong.
