In most Yugoslav games, 0-0-0, h4, and Bb3 are all played by White but the move order matters a great deal. 10.h4 h5 transposes to the Soltis Variation but avoids the Chinese Dragon (see below), because after 10.h4 Rb8?! 11.h5! is now good for White. 10.Bb3 also usually transposes into the main lines but Black has the additional possibility of ...
In one of the most popular and theoretically important lines, the Yugoslav Variation, White meets Black's setup with Be3, Qd2 and Bh6, exchanging off the Dragon bishop, followed by launching a kingside pawn storm with h4–h5 and g4. To involve the a1-rook in the attack, White usually castles queenside, placing the white king on the semi-open c ...

Since White is a tempo down from the regular Dragon lines (such as those in the Yugoslav Attack), the Dragon variations that are traditionally dangerous for Black are not as venomous here. Regardless, these lines are highly ...
White sacrifices a knight as early as move 14, in order to initiate a swift attack against the enemy king. Dragoljub Velimirovic vs. Ljubomir Ljubojevic, Yugoslav Championship 1972, Sicilian Defence, Najdorf Variation (B99), 1–0.
