A couple of points of the coverage given:

1) On the ending arising in the much quoted Kasparov-Nesis 1980, namely 9...Nc6 10.d5 Bc3 11.Bd2 Bd2 12.Qd2 Nd4, on page 137 the very interesting try 16...f5 is given. To my mind, the real problem for that line is Lobron's 17.Rhc1!! (Lobron-Krnic 1994) and even in that game, after 17...fe4, I find Ke3 more exact than the played Rc7, which allows 18...Rf2 and some chances. After 18.Ke3 black is busted

2) I played the 'presumptuous' (Dearing) 12...a5 (I recall a rapid game against MI Pablo Glavina, a.o.) during the 80's. On seeing Shipov playing the line in march 2004, I wondered what the book had. Essentially, Mikhalevski, himself a Grunfeld player, played 15.Qc1 and lost (this is page 38 of the book) instead of the recommended 15.Be7. I am almost certain that Shipov had something in the line given by Dearing... or doesnot he?

If anybody knows of any clarifying examples.... Thanks!
