Answers.Body: <p><a href="http://kenilworthian.blogspot.com/2011/03/cochrane-gambit.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">This page from Michael Goeller at The Kenilworthian</a> seems to offer a definitive guide. The printed books listed there which discuss the gambit from the white perspective are:</p>
  <ul>
  <li><em>The Alterman Gambit Guide: White Gambits</em>, B. Alterman (contains 40 pages on the gambit)</li>
  <li><em>A Startling Chess Opening Repetoire</em>, C. Baker (contains 16 pages on the gambit)</li>
  </ul>
  <p>The Kenilworthian lists a few other books, most of which are either from non-GM authors or not from the white perspective. It also has a collection of web resources (some of which are no longer available, but you can <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20190116012625/www.schach.gmxhome.de/boofreng.htm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">use the Wayback Machine</a>) and videos.</p>
  <p>Edit: There's also an excellent analysis in &quot;Playing the Petroff&quot; by GM Swapnil Dhopade. This is likely to be the best and most up to date you can get.</p>

Answers.Body: <p>If you go to Amazon books, you will find several titles listed, but nothing by a recognised author, so buyer beware. The response from deva does look horribly Chat_GPTish but it is uncanny that if any GM had written about the Cochrane it probably would be Gary Lane. However, his web site does not mention one.</p>

  [This page from Michael Goeller at The Kenilworthian](http://kenilworthian.blogspot.com/2011/03/cochrane-gambit.html) seems to offer a definitive guide. The printed books listed there which discuss the gambit from the white perspective are:
