Mastery | Build Up Your Chess 3 | Artur Yusupov
"Build Up Your Chess 3” is the first book in the “Mastery” series.
Artur Yusupov's esteemed nine-part training series is meticulously crafted to elevate chess enthusiasts from foundational concepts to advanced mastery.

-
- Fundamentals (Orange books): Aimed at players rated under 1500.
- Beyond the Basics (Blue books): Targeted at players rated under 1800.
- Mastery (Green books): For those rated under 2100.
The various topics – Tactics, Strategy, Positional Play, Endgames, Calculating Variations, and Openings – are spread evenly across the nine volumes, giving readers the chance to improve every area as they work through the books.
- 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:
It had been a couple of years I hadn't played chess and my rating dropped to 1800.
Since reading this book I'm back at 2000, though I think I'm too old to try for more.
Great book, great exercice, good this Yussupov. The whole series of mastery books (3) is worth the price. MarcAnderson
