Basics: the first moves of the Sicilian
Answer e4 from the side with c5, trade on d4 and bring your knight to f6. Then g6 starts the Dragon setup.

If White attacks with bishop e3, f3 and queen d2 (Yugoslav Attack)
White castles long and storms your king with pawns. Be quick: answer long castling with d5 in the center, and the c4 bishop with rook c8 and b5 on the queenside.

If White puts the bishop on e2 and castles short (Classical Variation)

If White doesn't play the knight to f3 on move two
Anti-Sicilians. Against c3 strike with d5; against the knight c3 and f4 systems use your Dragon setup: g6, bishop g7, knight c6. Don't take the gambit.
