Vote for the Yearbook Novelty of the Year 2010 and win a one-year subscription to the YearbookNew In Chess asks its readers what they think was the best opening novelty of 2010. The inventor of the novelty will receive a prize of 350 euros. Among those who have voted for the winning novelty, a one-year subscription to the Yearbook will be raffled.

You might remember last year's New in Chess Yearbook Novelty of the Year which was Daniel Stellwagen's 24…Qf3 in the King’s Indian against Loek van Wely at the NH Chess Tournament in Amsterdam in August 2009.
