«Build up your Chess 2», de Artur Yusupov (tapa dura)

This Build Up Your Chess 2 by Artur Yusupov is an English-language hardcover chess training book for club players who already know the basics and want to deepen their understanding of the game. As the second volume in Yusupov’s Build Up Your Chess course, it develops the ideas from the first book into structured training.

What the book covers

After The Fundamentals, this volume moves on to Beyond the Basics with carefully chosen positions, clear explanations of strategic and tactical ideas, and exercises that test what you have learned. It is therefore more than something to read through: it is a practical tool for independent chess study.

If you want to train regularly, organise your knowledge and better understand why certain moves work while others do not, this book is a strong fit. The hardcover edition is also convenient if you plan to keep returning to it for analysis and solving exercises.

About the author and series

Artur Yusupov is the author of the Build Up Your Chess training series, which guides the reader step by step from one level of understanding to the next. This second volume continues that approach with a clear progression from the basics to more advanced play.
