Boost Your Chess 2: Beyond the Basics

Quality Chess is proud to be the publisher of Artur Yusupov’s complete course of chess training. Stretching to nine volumes, Yusupov guides the reader towards a higher chess understanding using carefully selected positions and advice. To make sure that this new knowledge sticks, it is then tested by a selection of puzzles. The course is structured in three series with three levels. The Fundamentals Series is the easier one, Beyond the Basics is more challenging, and Mastery is quite difficult, even for stronger players. The various topics - Tactics, Strategy, Positional Play, the Endgame, Calculating Variations, Openings and so on - are spread evenly over the nine volumes, giving the readers the chance to improve every area as they work through the books. Winner of the prestigious Boleslavsky Medal from FIDE (the World Chess Federation) as the best instructional chess books in the world in 2009 (ahead of Garry Kasparov and Mark Dvoretsky in 2nd and 3rd place).
