Grandmaster Jacob Aagaard won the British Championship at his first and only attempt. He is the only author to have won the Boleslavsky Medal as well as the ACP, Guardian, ECF and ChessCafe Book of the Year awards.

The contents of previous books in the series (Calculation, Positional Play, Strategic Play, Attack and Defense and Endgame Play) were largely explained by their titles, but Thinking Inside the Box, arguably the best of the bunch, covers a wider variety of topics Highly Recommended." IM John Donaldson "With his latest work, "Thinking Inside The Box", Jacob Aagaard closes the Grandmaster Preparation series and links the predecessors in a very entertaining way, while also introducing new facets. It reminded me of the Scottish tradition of entertaining authors, such as Paul Motwani and Jonathan Rowson, who knew how to entertain in a very personal way, but also gave a lot of chess knowledge. The level is not too high and every chess friend can take something from the book For me this is a very strong book." IM Dirk Schuh "Thinking Inside the Box is an immensely rich book Very few chess books have stuck with me the way that Thinking Inside the Box has. I think it is Aagaard
