Oh, seems this flew under my radar.
Very interested in the 5.g3 Semi-Slav section. The only other relatively recent source for this would be Ris' DVD right?
There‘s also the brand-new
1.d4! The Chess Bible by Hungarian IM Armin Juhasz (Thinkers Publishing 2021, 278 pages;
https://thinkerspublishing.com/product/1-d4-the-chess-bible-mastering-queens-paw... ).
That book is a mixture of model games, theoretical coverage, tactical puzzles, typical Endgames and additional games for homework. It doesn’t give a complete repertoire (for example: no Dutch, no QGA, no Benko ...) but concentrates on the biggest repertoire blocks: KID (Petrosian), Grünfeld (4.Nf3 Bg7 5.h4), Modern Benoni (Nf3+h3+Bd3), Slav (3.Nf3 Nf6 4.g3) and the Catalan. (The Chapters on Slav and Catalan together make it up to 90 pages, including 25 pages of pure theory).
It‘s recommended for 1600 - 2500 ELO players but imo best for 1800 - 2100 players who are new in this structures. But surely a useful book anyway if you play some of these systems.
Of course, there‘s also Chesspublishing itself with its commented games!
