For quite sometime in 5cxd5 exd5 line castling with 7...0.0 wasn't considered a great idea, because playing a QGD exchange type position with Bb4 misplaced, and little counterplay. Obviously that's not the case now, because top GM's playing it but can you give some clue what changed?
Also you mentioned didn't like Pert's recommendation in Vienna because of line with Bb5ch bd7, but I couldn't find the video.

1. Modern computers showed that black is OK in the critical 9.Qb3 line. By the way, 7...Bf5 is also playable, but needs more memorization.
5.cxd5 exd5 6.Bg5 h6 7.Bh4 0-0 8.e3 Bf5 9.Qb3 Bxc3 10.Qxc3
5.cxd5 exd5 6.Bg5 h6 7.Bh4 0-0 8.e3 Bf5 9.Qb3 Bxc3 10.bxc3 Nbd7 11.Qxb7
5.cxd5 exd5 6.Bg5 h6 7.Bh4 0-0 8.e3 Bf5 9.Qb3 Bxc3 10.bxc3 Nbd7 11.Be2
2.I analyze 10.Bb5+ Nbd7 in these videos:
Main line 10.Bb5 Nbd7 11.Bxf6 Qxc3 12.Kf1 gxf6 w/o 13.h4
Main line 10.Bb5 Nbd7 11.Bxf6 Qxc3 12.Kf1 gxf6 13.h4 a6 14.Rh3 Qb4 w/o 15.Be2
Main line 10.Bb5 Nbd7 11.Bxf6 Qxc3 12.Kf1 gxf6 13.h4 a6 14.Rh3 Qb4 15.Be2
Ah, awesome - I'll have to check this out.
Very useful. Thanks!
thanks.

The complete Ragozin by Cornette covers 7...Bf5 and 7...0.0 8e3 Bf5 also, have you seen this one? Am asking because already have Pert book, and it might not be worthwhile buying this one, if cover similar ground. Thanks.

Most of the lines are taken from the Cornette's book, with the addition of fresh (2017-2018) high-level games, and correspondence games.
Karajakin v Aronian 2018 seems quite relevant, although delaying a6, seems to make 16...Nc5 possible?!
