Ger Vanperlo?
I'd never heard of him but apparently his Endgame Tactics written with humor won the Book of the Year award.
Must be really good.

I thnk modern authors who won "Chess Book of the Year" awards are to be seeded automaticly. Among old books, Aron Nimzovich is contender for best chess writer.

Well , I think , Silman

Avatar of MickinMD

Silman, Seirawan, Soltis, Fine, Reinfeld, Keres, Nimzowitsch, Pachman, Nunn, Watson, Dvoretsky, Alburt, Aagaard are among the contenders.

The two books that helped me most were Nimzo's My System and Silman's How to Reassess Your Chess.

Guys I have started a club: https://www.chess.com/club/intellectual-chessists-society

Please join. Chess.com has become somewhat of a trolling site, I've created this club in order to destroy the troll beast.

Kaspa? In the sens most of pre-Botvinnik books should be though to be inaccurate or plainly wrong.
