	Cox's book was good, no doubt, but you cannot use it today against the London for example. The funny thing is that the big discovery, the "chesspub idea" (it was Alang G if i remember correctly) escapred also the attention of Aveskulov in this most recent book while being already in the bibliography (an example that comes to mind is Lakdawala in his London book). Avrukh had all my analysis regarding the deviations of the main line Tarrasch. If you check the London and Colle chapters you'll see how amazing job he has done (i was definately amazed from his surprizing improvement over my analysis!). I'd say that clearly the 11nth volume of the series is more valuable for club players that Avrukh's first two (legendary) volumes!

	Thanks guys, I will in fact take a closer look at Cox's book. GM11 at 500+ pages looks indigestible but I will try....

Take a closer look at Cox's book; it has everything you need. Of course an update like GM Rep 11 might not be a bad idea.

I have the book 'Dealing with the 1.d4 Deviations' but Black's first moves are 1...Nf6 and 2...e6 rather than the preferred route of 1...d5 and 2...e6 a la the Tarrasch. I thought Cox's d4 deviations covers d5 move orders too Aagaard and Lund's book on the Tarrasch has some options with an early e6 of you prefer like 1. d5 d5 2. Nf3 e6 3. Bf4 Bd6. Even though it's called "Meeting 1. d4", it covers some none d4 like the Reti and some lesser White systems. However if you are looking for a Tarrasch, you could also try 1. d4 d5 2. Nf3 c5

	Maybe get GM11? It's a very recent book and knowing Avrukh it will last you a long time. Also 'Meeting 1 d4' might be interesting since it is specifically a Tarrasch book which includes all possibilities by white (other than 1 e4).
