Thanks a lot Josh!

I play the Sicilian dragon as black against e4 and I feel that I'm very familiar with it. That's why I try to get something look-a-like going against the english because I noticed that it's possible, hence d6 instead of d5. I know nothing of the english but luckily a dragon set-up is available. Thats also why I think I played Bd7, its a dragon standard move. I really like your Nd7 suggestion there instead, with f5 and replacing the knight maybe and have e5 push later, sweet.

...b5 is interresting, and I agree with you that my light squared bishop is better then his and I shouldn't really trade it off. But I think I lacked a plan, when I had played Bd7 I couldn't really see something and I know as black that it is annoying when white trade your fianchetto bishop. I should learn to step out of my natural reactions and look at stuff more objectively. However, I looked at ...b5 and was wondering how you would respond if white answerd with b4, since his rook is already on the b-file it makes sense?

also in the game instead of ...b6? Nd7 was the way to go. I really can't say why I didn't just see it, I remember choosing one of those moves. To tell you the truth I think I blunderd in my head thinking that a queen on the 7th rank will capture my pawns and pinning my bishop etc. etc. Anyway, Nd7! was clearly much better! Probably thought during the game that with his queen on b6 my knight move would gain the tempo back, which was just very bad judgement.

Kox,

I think that b5 (if you mean playing b5 instead of Bh3) leads to a good position for black if white tries b4. The proper response for black is cxb4 followed by a4, establishing a protected passed pawn along with a very powerful g7 bishop.

Might be worth trying after Qxb6 to go for Rxf3, and if he plays Qb7, there's the possibility of Nd7, giving white the knight and then playing something like Raf8, or giving white the rook and playing Nf6.

I think what you played is fine, as it doesn't disrupt your attack, and my idea is a bit more unsound.
