This Boost Your Chess 1: The Fundamentals is an English-language chess training book by Artur Yusupov, designed to guide players through structured self-study with themed chapters, worked examples and exercises.
Rather than offering a random mix of positions, it builds the material step by step. Each chapter introduces one idea, develops it through examples of increasing difficulty, and then checks understanding with exercises, making the book useful for independent training or as support for coaching.
What the book covers
Boost Your Chess 1 continues Yusupov’s Fundamentals series and focuses on helping readers build real chess understanding, not just memorise solutions. The emphasis is on seeing why a motif, plan or decision matters at the board, which makes it a strong fit for ambitious club players and anyone moving from casual play to more deliberate study.
This title is part of Artur Yusupov’s respected training course and appears in the Fundamentals / Boost Your Chess series. It is a practical choice for self-study, club-player improvement and coaching support.
