- Each chapter presents a specific theme, accompanied by exercises and detailed solutions
- Yusupov emphasizes a hands-on approach to studying to promote retention and understanding rather than rote memorisation

Reader's Reviews:
"GM Yusupov's highly regarded series continues… I like the pacing of the lessons; each one lasts for six or seven pages before the test positions are introduced, so none of the chapters ever outstays its welcome… The whole series is very accessible to club players, who will enjoy studying about a wide range of important topics." - S Marsh
