Draft:Averbakh-Boleslavsky FIDE Book of the Year Award

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Comment: It may be better to work on articles relating to the authors or books. For instance, if the author already has an article can you add a paragraph about their book and the FIDE Award it won?
    Although creating new articles is a very bad newcomer task, book articles are on the easier side as WP:NBOOK means a couple of reputable reviews/awards show notability. — Bilorv (talk) 17:26, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
