Invisible Moves is Chesscafe Book of the Year 2011

Chess blog for latest chess news and chess trivia (c) Alexandra Kosteniuk, 2012

Hi everyone,

 
The Chesscafe Book of the Year 2011 has been announced. After several weeks of voting, one book stood out as the runaway winner. In previous years the voting has been close round-by-round, or one book will do well in the first round, but falter in the second. This year players (predominately from France, Israel, and The Netherlands) rallied overwhelmingly around just one title:

Invisible Chess Moves has been voted the ChessCafe.com 2011 Book of the Year. Congratulations to authors Yochanan Afek and Emmanuel Neiman, along with publisher New In Chess.
