No doubt you are correct about 6...Be7. Since the sample says "First published as a Chessable Course 2020", the book probably won't deviate. The sample pages have an "impressive" amount of white space. I love this bit from Polgar: "In this book Yuriy does not overwhelm you with variations..."

[Less than 30% of the following repertoire book is on the Open Spanish. But as an answer to the Ruy is maybe the most important part of each black repertoire with 1.e4 e5, it‘s probably better to post here than in the section „Non-Spanish“ or „General Chess“!?]

A Complete Opening Repertoire

There’s a pdf preview (15 pages; toc, foreword, preface, start of chapter 1) at Niggemann or at debestezet:
https://www.debestezet.nl/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=4652

The almost completely black cover looks great!

Regarding the Open Spanish, it’s probably about 5...Nxe4 6.d4 Be7!?, what Krykun has played and teached (at chessable)!? And what has been used by Carlsen, Caruana and others.
