This Boost Your Chess 2: Beyond the Basics by Artur Yusupov is an English-language hardcover chess training book for players who already know the basics and want to deepen their understanding of the game. As the second volume in the Beyond the Basics series, it uses a step-by-step format built around selected positions, strategic ideas and tactical exercises.
What the book covers
The material develops the ideas introduced in Fundamentals and focuses on what matters in practical play once the basic rules and motifs are already in place. Yusupov works through carefully chosen positions, explains key strategic and tactical ideas, and then lets you test what you have learned through exercises. The result is a training book designed for active study rather than passive reading.
It is a strong fit for ambitious amateurs, club players and anyone who wants to study on their own in a structured way. Instead of jumping between unrelated topics, the book guides you through material that gradually strengthens your understanding of positions and helps you make more confident decisions at the board.
About the author and approach
Artur Yusupov presents the series in a clear, practical training format that combines instruction with immediate application. The book is organised to support steady improvement through positions, ideas and exercises that build on one another.
