Beyond the Baiscs A. Yusupov all 3 books

This Beyond the Basics series by Artur Yusupov, set of three paperback books is an English-language chess training set for players who want to move beyond the basics and study the game in a more structured way. It develops tactics, strategy, positional play, endgames, calculation and openings, with explanations reinforced by exercises and puzzles.

What’s included in the set?

This set contains the three books that make up the second level of Artur Yusupov’s training programme:

• Build Up Your Chess: Beyond the Basics 2 – the first volume, guiding the reader from solid foundations towards a more mature understanding of chess,
• Boost Your Chess: Beyond the Basics 2 – the second volume, which continues the material from the first book,
• Chess Evolution: Beyond the Basics 2 – the third and final volume in the Beyond the Basics level.

Each book combines carefully chosen positions with practical guidance, so the ideas are not only explained but also reinforced through exercises and puzzles.

How the Yusupov series works

This is not a random collection of exercises or a purely theoretical manual. Yusupov leads the reader step by step through the key areas of the game, spreading the topics evenly across the three volumes. That makes it easier to develop several skills at once instead of focusing on just one area, such as tactics alone.

The format suits ambitious amateurs, club players and anyone who wants to train systematically. As a set of three books, it gives you a clear path for working on your chess and building a stronger base for further improvement.
