There are some areas of opening theory where I would like to have master level analysis, but I‘m not sure if I wish books to be published about: they also serve all my potential opponents...
Nevertheless, there’s certainly room for a new high level monography on the
Petroff. And also for the
QGA (I don‘t know if Semkov is thinking of or working on a fourth edition. And please more books on
1Nf3. There have been a few but there is much more to be covered!
Recently there were some books on the black side on QGD (with that one of Davies2017 maybe underrated imo), but I‘m still waiting for good coverage of the
QGD Lasker (with 13...b6). This is imo a very important part of chess education, instructive for amateurs and a useful backbone for masters. Such a book could/should have chapters about typical middlegames/ endgames.
I don’t know if „The full English Opening“ by CHansen2018 sold well. But I liked that book very much and would appreciate other „full“ overview of that kind, for example for the French, the Nimzo-Indian or the Najdorf Sicilian (incl. Scheveningen lines) ... Just a complete overview with many game fragments covering (nearly) all variations on ~2000 level ?!
