Now says 28 June release on New in Chess website.

It looks interesting, even though I prefer fianchetto slow type system like Sielicki's book rather than these lines.

I noticed that many aggressive 1. d4 repertoire book usually recommends some sort of Sämisch against Nimzo. No other way to attack against Nimzo-Indian I guess ¿ 

I really would not play Four Prawns against KID though. Way too loosening in my opinion. I was expecting a Sämisch with f3 setup against KID.

41€ is 70$ ¿ Is this AUD ¿ Surely USD and CAD cannot be that low on the exchange rate 

Personally on instinct, although I cannot see the detailed lines in either this book nor Moskalenko, I tend to trust latter more. Actually in this case both authors have a unique writing style, but Moskalenko is less annoying, in my view.

Undecided as too weather or not I will buy this book....whilst the actual repertoire variations look interesting and would compliment the lines I already play my reservations are as follows:

1/The only way I am able to buy the book is online as there are no chess book stockist in my country...hence I can't browse the book before buying to better establish what is in it and how up-to-date it is...

2/The index offered in the sample pages doesn't really tell me much about the actual variations...IMO a number of publishers need to do better in this area. I think Chess Stars do a good job of informing the buyer, whilst not giving everything away.

3/The book is 29,95 Euro, then the publisher wants to add another 11,00 Euro postage which makes the book around $70.00 in my money. For that I want to be sure I'm not buying a lemon and I'm afraid the sample pages don't tell me enough to make that call.

Option Amazon (who do a good "look inside" and will cost around $50). This means I have to wait a few months plus I understand that they drive a pretty hard bargain which means less for the publisher and author, which I don't think is a good outcome.

I didn’t even notice that! Also couldn’t find anything on the Budapest, unless the Indo-Benoni covers it, whatever that might be. Unless that’s a ‘refer to my Budapest book’ job as well.

Each opening looks like a few pages of theory with the bulk of the book being annotated games. I think I’ll pass on this. The Sielecki book is more my thing.

Quoting myself!

Well what timing! The sample pages are now up on NIC https://www.newinchess.com/an-attacking-repertoire-for-white-with-1-d4. Looks like I was right! f3/f4 systems abound

My bad you can by it but it is saying july.

I notice that Peter Boel of NIC wrote on May 27 that the Moskalenko book will be released in a few weeks.
