Sicilian, Dragon, Yugoslav Attack, 10.0-0-0

In chess, B78 is the ECO code for the Sicilian, Dragon, Yugoslav Attack, 10.0-0-0 chess opening. The game begins 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 g6 6.Be3 Bg7 7.f3 O-O 8.Qd2 Nc6 9.Bc4 Bd7 10.O-O-O. It is one of White's most critical responses against the Dragon and continues to be popular today. White pushes the kingside pawns and Black counterattacks on the queenside. Sacrifices are normal and draws are infrequent. Bh6 is common, grabbing the kingside. This is good for white, and by destroying the g7-B white wins on the kingside.
