I have been fortunate to review many great chess books in 2022 for @ecfchess and @CHESS_Magazine The “Masterpieces and Dramas” series is my pick of the year. Chess writing at its finest! Check out January @CHESS_Magazine for an article inspired by various superb @ilan_ruby works.

"It is impossible for a single review to do justice to the richness of the historical sources, intriguing games and beautifully told stories contained within this book...If you are looking for the ideal Christmas gift the three volumes of this series are what you are looking for.

I just received the new book by Ben Graff a.k.a. @GreenBGambit and I have to say at first glance it looks like one of the most beautifully designed chess books I have ever seen - very much like an Encylopaedia.
Cant wait to dive into it!

I write monthly book reviews for @ecfchess ‘Chess Moves.’ Lovely Sunday morning reading @ilan_ruby Masterpieces and Dramas of the Soviet Union Vol III. Loving it and thought I’d share my earlier review of the equally brilliant Volume II open.substack.com/pub/englis…

Popped into @chessandbridge in the week, to sign some copies of my new book. “Checkmate! Great Champions and Epic Matches from a Timeless Game.” It was great fun to write and lovely to see it on the shelves! Chess and Bridge is definitely my favourite place in London!

@Jonathan_Rowson's notes to this amazing Rowson-Willow encounter are arguably worth the November cover price alone! Look out too for @GreenBGambit meeting @chesstutor, @plittl on Chris Fegan stunning John Nunn, @DanielKingChess, @Carl_Portman, @CSCTeesside and much more! #chess

Great to see that @GreenBGambit has a new book out! It's certainly lavishly illustrated and will surely prove popular in the Christmas market. We'll have more from Ben on 'Checkmate!' in our December pages and you can already purchase the book from @chessandbridge! #chess
