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

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!

Hats off to @ecfchess and all commentators/ players/ organisers for making the Checkmate challenge such a success. That’s the first time I’ve played Keith Arkell @Atomrod 3 times before 9.00 on a Sunday morning! A great event for a great cause. Think I need a bit of a rest today!.
