Thirteenth Annual
ChessCafe.com
Book of the Year

And the winner is...

After several weeks of voting, the early front runners for Book of the Year were Aron Nimzowitsch, 1886-1924 by Per Skjoldager and Jørn Erik Nielsen and Move First, Think Later by Willy Hendriks. Grandmaster Preparation: Calculation by Jacob Aagaard had its supporters, but just not to the same extent as the other finalists.

We are now pleased to announce that Aron Nimzowitsch, 1886-1924 has been voted the ChessCafe.com 2012 Book of the Year. Congratulations to authors Per Skjoldager and Jørn Erik Nielsen, along with publisher McFarland.

Thank you to all who voted!
