The Chess Cafe web site is running its Book of the Year contest.
My nomination is for Colin Crouch's "Why we lose at chess", which I enjoyed last year.
Another nominated book that I read was Karpov's "Find the Right Plan". Its not had the greatest reviews, but I was fine with it. Most other books nominated, I haven't read.
My guess is that, if he doesn't win this Chess Cafe vote, Yasser Seirawan will win someone's book-of-the-year for his "Chess Duels", as there seems to be too much "groundswell" about it.
I've not read it, nor any other of his, so I have no opinion to state !
Looking forward to the votes and next round.

My vote goes to Soltis book which I think is excellent and practical advice for Patzer such as yours truly.
Can't ague with that...
My second choice might be the AVRO 1938 tournament book. I have Max Euwe's "Meet the Masters" which is a pre-tournament book, and very good too.
I love historical tournament books.
