Mastery A. Yusupov all 3 books

Throughout the 10 book series, Yusupov guides the reader towards a higher chess understanding using carefully selected positions and advice. To make sure that this new knowledge sticks, it is then tested by a selection of puzzles. The various topics – Tactics, Strategy, Positional Play, the Endgame, Calculating Variations, Openings and so on – are spread evenly over the ten volumes, giving the readers the chance to improve every area as they work through the books. Mastery (also known as ‘the green books’) is the third level in Yusupov’s 3 levels, and builds on the material introduced in the Fundamentals and Beyond the basics books from the first and second levels.

Review

"Each chapter starts with the introduction of a theme followed by progressively more difficult examples and finally exercises to solve with detailed solutions. Such an approach has been seen before but never as well done. One might ask why it is necessary to have such a high rated player write a book for less-advanced players? The answer is that Yusupov offers the rare combination of tremendous chess knowledge and the ability and desire to share it. This book will be useful to not only budding Masters to be, but especially those who coach them... Highly Recommended"
