Subject: repertoire book for Black covering Nimzo-Indian, Queen's Indian, Catalan?
Is there a repertoire book for Black covering the 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6
openings for Black, presenting a repertoire against 3.Nc3, 3.Nf3, and
3.g3?

There are books covering Nimzo for Black, but I think treatment of the
Nimzo and QID should be integrated because of the possible
transpositions, for example

3.Nc3 Bb4 4.Nf3 b6

and

3.Nf3 b6 4.Nc3 Bb4.

Why stop there? Your ENTIRE opening repertoire should be integrated. Read
my chapter on formation-based openings for more info, and read the chapter
on how to play the opening for why you should never need an opening book
beyond what the computers give you.

Khalifman wrote a book a few years back, _The Opening for Black
According to Karpov_, which is a complete repertoire book based on
teh Caro-Kann and the Nimzo/Queen's Indian complex. It also has liens
against the Catalan (but advocates 1...e5 against the English rather
than trying to transpose to the Nimzoindian). It's a pretty good
book, and I've played its Nimzoindian lines in correspondence chess
with fair results.

There's a new book by Alburt, Dzindzichashvili, and (I think)
Perelshteyn), called _Chess Openings For Black, Explained_, which is
supposed to be a complete repertoire based on the Nimzo/Queen's
Indian, Accelerated Dragon, and Symmetrical English. I haven't seen it
yet, though.
