Attentive readers might recognise one of the co-authors of the last nominated book as our very own Matt Ball, organiser and coach of Early Knights Juniors.

Originally, Matt and Natasha developed Zwischenzug! as a Chessable Online course. Having been so well received, they have taken the next step and published it in book form.

Congratulations to Matt and Natasha on having your book shortlisted.
