He pinpoints the most critical lines and shows that the Black, contrary to popular belief, actually has quite a wide choice against most systems.

Retells the segment from Spenser's The Faerie Queene, in which George, the Red Cross Knight, slays the dreadful dragon that has been terrorizing the countryside for years and brings peace and joy to the land.

An indispensable guide to the Dragon, the author distills the most useful information from the massive amount of Dragon theory that exists.
