This Chess Evolution 1 by Artur Yusupov is an English-language hardcover chess training book for players who want to build a stronger grasp of the fundamentals through structured self-study.
What this book covers
This first volume in Artur Yusupov’s Fundamentals course brings together the core areas every improving player needs to work on: tactics, endgames, strategy, positional play, openings and calculation. The material is arranged for regular study rather than quick reading, so you can work through the ideas step by step and return to them as needed.
Each chapter finishes with exercises, giving you a practical way to check your understanding straight away. That makes the book especially useful if you want to do more than read about chess and actually test what you have learned.
Author and series background
Artur Yusupov was ranked 3rd in the world from 1986 to 1992, behind only Karpov and Kasparov. He went on to focus on coaching, working with top players including world champion Anand as well as club players. That experience is reflected in the way the material is presented: demanding, but clearly structured and focused on real improvement.
