because practice has shown that while white can spearhead his attack with pawn pushes, black must rely on piece play to contend as Black's pawn storm cant contend with white's.

the Yugoslav Attack is absurdly complicated, avoid it if you don't have study time
It's absurdly awesome! ๐Ÿ™‚

I have an excellent record OTB with the Dragon, beating much stronger players that I probably couldn't beat normally. And the AD, is as lame as FDR's legs.

Accelerated Dragon is nweak, but if a beginner tries to play it like a normal Dragon, white will be in a lot of trouble!
uwarning: Accelerated Dragon should be only used in order tu humiliate beginners and make them second guess their Dragon lines...
obviously, the Maroczy Bind is played almost all the time as a sort of refutation to the AD
is there any successful way to maneuver around pawn c4?

You clearly know nothing regarding the Accelerated Dragon, please don't attempt to bash it

the bind is NOT a refutation of the AD, if you believe so then you are clearly relying on an outdated source.

An example way to fight it is to play for a pawn break in b5 and f5 and make trades to solve the spacial cramp

Hm, hm, and I'm going to sleep now - tired as hell - I'll let you sit for a while and try to figure out if I'll go for the bind or Nc3. ๐Ÿ™‚

That's what I was thinking at first...but I figure you probably prefer those Nc3 lines, so I'm not sure what I'll play, I'm going to think about it a little...
