Just noticed the book "The Chigorin Bible", which came out in 2019. I think this is the first book that covers the interesting Graf variation, 11...Nd7, from Black's perspective since Nigel Davies book "Play 1.e4 e5!" in 2005. The coverage of the Graf variation in "Play 1.e4 e5!" is quite outdated now. For those who have "The Chigorin Bible", what do you think of the material on the Graf variation?   


Material in pretty good. They honestly say that white is better in the 11.-Nd7 -line.

Interesting. In which line(s) do they think White is better?


12.a4! (exclamation mark is their)
  

1.Nf3! -  beat your opponent by killing his zest for life.
