Boost Your Chess 1: The Fundamentals, de Artur Yusupov (tapa dura)

This Boost Your Chess 1: The Fundamentals by Artur Yusupov is an English-language hardcover chess training book for players who want to build their understanding in a structured way. As the first volume in the Fundamentals series, it takes you through core ideas step by step and then checks that knowledge with carefully chosen exercises.

What this book covers

This is a practical self-study course rather than a random collection of positions. Each chapter introduces a theme, works through examples of increasing difficulty, and finishes with exercises that include detailed solutions. That format makes it easier to absorb the ideas and then apply them at the board.

It is a strong fit for club players and ambitious readers who want to organise what they know instead of jumping between unrelated puzzles. The material is arranged methodically, so each exercise builds on the one before it.

Author and series

Artur Yusupov is the author of the Fundamentals series, and this title is the first volume in that programme. The series was awarded the Boleslavsky Medal by FIDE in 2009, which underlines its standing as a respected instructional chess course.
