I'm not sure why he'd bother with the alternate move order in that case.

	This is great news, although the contents are indeed a bit odd. Despite being a repertoire book (or at least the title implying so), we have the Rubinstein, Be7 and c5 against the Tarrasch, and the Rubinstein, Winawer and Nf6 against Nc3. This might be a good thing, but also could leave the coverage too sparse. Unfortunately we can't see what the suggestion is after Bg5, but he plays both the Burn and McCutcheon occasionally, so one of those seems likely.

	Chess Stars just announced a new book The French Defence: A Complete Black Repertoire by Nikita Vitiugov Contents http://www.chess-stars.com/graphics/eshop/books_special/ContentsFrench.pdf Chess Stars has been on a roll lately with Beliavsky and Mikhalhisin's Petrosian QID book, Khalifman's 11 and 12, Bologan's KID book, Barsky's Scotch, Georgiev's torture black's anti d4 gambits, and Dreev's Moscow books. I hope they continue this shocking good run of excellent books by experts in their respective openings. Based on the contents though, they do not appear to be completely finished translating it into English.
