I'd be really surprised if it included either opening, since those are clearly beyond the scope of a book on the QGD. Isn't there enough in the QGD to keep any author busy for one book anyway? You're probably right. The Janjgava book had something vs the Catalan, though. It's supposed to be released February 2011. I first read that as 2010. One year from now.

	I think that this is an excellent choice of subject matter. In relation to bf4 - my prediction would be for nbd7 ideas . In my ideal scenario, 4....bb4 would be included (Vienna/Ragozin).

	It will be interesting to see whether Cox prefers the 6...c5 main lines against the Blackburne (Bf4), or go for one of Black's alternatives, such as 6.e3 Nbd7.

	All our dreams come true if we have the courage to pursue them.

	http://www.everymanchess.com/chess/books/Declining_the_Queen%27s_Gambit This book provides a repertoire for Black with the ever-popular Queen's Gambit Declined. Opening expert John Cox covers not one but two key options for Black. The Tartakower Variation is a sophisticated defence used successfully by world champions such as Kasparov, Karpov and Kramnik. The Lasker Variation is an easy-to-learn and reliable option devised by one of the legends of the game. Cox also demonstrates how to play against White's other tries, including the Exchange Variation and Bf4 lines. He explains in detail the typical plans and tactics adopted by both sides, whilst also tackling the tricky subject of move-order possibilities. * A repertoire for Black against the Queen's Gambit * Provides answers to all of White’s main options * Ideal for improvers, club players and tournament players Published February 2011 EU, January 2011 US \| ISBN 9781857446404 Format Paperback, 192 pages
