Looks like the ebook version is posted on everyman's website. Has anyone picked up a copy? if so, what's the repertoire? 

thanks

Not really that surprising, the Petroff is probably growing in popularity again after a long while in not having much written for it - 

Also, the move by move and the opening repertoire series are supposed to be slightly different audiences i think.

I find it surprising there isnt a sample available online yet.

This book is now available from both Chess Direct and Chess & Bridge.

I would be interested to know how different it is from The Petroff Move by Move....guess comparing the games index in both books will soon tell.

As far as I call, looking at excerpt he recommends in this new book 8...b6 in "New Main Line" with opposites sides castling, which was I think given favourably also in his Move by Move book.

Since there is no Index of Variations, I cannot see in big detail what else he recommends compared to Move by Move book.

On p. 10 he talks about chimpanzee and Planet of the Apes film when talking about Cochrane Gambit, so it looks like his eccentric writing style continues 

I guess a key question is how much this book differs from his Move by Move book on the Petroff?

I mean how he writes so fast. Book on 1. d4 2. c4 published few weeks ago no ¿ And before that French book...meanwhilst I am analysing a specific line in French Winawer for three months and still would not be able to publish anything if I could 

Petroff avoids Scotch and Italian, which now probably close to as popular as White playing main Ruy López.

In excerpt, I question what point is of analysing endgame in opening book. Unless it has direct affect on long analytical lines, would be better to replace that with more detailed opening analysis.
