Not that there are Earth-shattering things in there, but sometimes you don't know, you might have missed something simple and the other guy hasn't. Or maybe your editor will check your manuscript and the relevant source? "Play 1.Nf3!" is still a ways off. It is several orders of magnitude larger than the Semi-Slav text, and although the vast majority of the analysis is done, there is still a good bit to do. My recommendations in various openings have changed a number of times, and have only recently begun to crystalize completely. Aside from that, there could still be some editing needed for the Semi-Slav text based on the critiques I receive from the editor's appraisal of the final manuscript. 1.Nf3 d5 2.d4 c6 3.c4 dxc4. Standard transposition.

It just hasn't appeared in print yet. I just sent in the final manuscript for Chess Developments: The Semi-Slav with 5.Bg5, so hopefully I will be able to get to work on my original project again in earnest soon.

	I'm seeking good sources of annotated games on 3 "lines" of the QGA/Slav. This is because I intend (after decades with the Budapest, and a year with the Dutch), to try out the following move order: 1. d4 d5 2. c4 dxc4 3. Nf3 c6 However, backing up a move, when it comes to the QGA proper, in particular I'm seeking a good source when it comes to lines without 3. Nf3. As for the move order above, I'm particularly interested in a good source on 3. Nf3 c6 4. e3 Be6 Finally, I'm interested in a good source on the Alekhine variation of the Slav: 1. d4 d5 2. c4 c6 3. Nf3 Nf6 4. Nc3 dxc4 5. e3. This is because, given the move order I'm interested in (2...dxc4 3. Nf3 c6), I may steer towards a transposition with 4. Nc3 b5 5. a4 b4, 6...e6 and 7...Nf6. I understand the comparable line from the Slav move order, 1. d4 d5 2. c4 c6 3. Nf3 Nf6 4. Nc3 dxc4 5. e3 b5 6. a4 b4, got played a number of times by WC's Euwe and Smyslov, so I'd even be interested in an older book if I can find it used, and also could probably deal with it if it were in German. Thanks in advance. I'm hoping this is my last switch of repertoire against 1. d4 (I'm 50 after all!) and I figure it gives me the flexibility to eventually branch off into other reasonably closely related lines such that a number of the ideas would still apply. But for the meantime I think the above are not unreasonable choices which at the same time limit the amount of study I will need to devote in the short term. I feel like I'm already getting the hang of it a little bit, I see how getting a knight to ...d5 for Black is pretty thematic after e4/e5 by White.
