From the course:
“This manual is intended for the many club players who unfortunately receive no support in attempts to master our complicated sport. In this way, it's intended as a substitute for a trainer.”
— Artur Yusupov, FIDE senior trainer,
3-time World Championship Candidate
Master Chess on Your Own — with This Award-Winning “Complete Trainer Substitute”
Build Up Your Chess is a series of self-training programs, designed to help raise your game from under-1500 to 2100 Elo — even if you have no access to a coach. The series won the 2008 Boleslavsky Award for instruction, and part one of the Fundamentals is now on Chessable with video!
Brought to you by Grandmaster Artur Yusupov.
Yusupov is a 3-time World Chess Championship Candidate, with a peak rating of 2680 FIDE and a peak ranking of world #3.
Now a FIDE Senior Trainer, he combines his immense knowledge — with the Russian training methods of his late mentor and the “greatest chess trainer of all time,” Mark Dvoretsky.
His Mastery of the Methods of the Russian Chess School was very helpful
“Artur's systematic and professional approach to analyzing games was the decisive factor in having him as my second in the World Championship Finals in New York 1995 and Lausanne 1998. His mastery of the methods of the Russian chess school was very helpful… I am still very grateful for everything that Artur did for me.”
— Viswanathan Anand, 5-time World Chess Champion
Yusupov also noticed how the overwhelming majority of chess books target only beginners or masters — leaving club players to bridge the gap, often without any aid from a trainer.
That’s why in 2003, Yusupov started a 3-year training program in his academy for 3 rating groups — under-1500, under-1800, and under-2100.
This way, his students receive level-appropriate instruction, which will have an immediate positive impact on their skills.
Since then, positive feedback and suggestions poured in — convincing Yusupov to refine it into a 9-part series that…
Gives Your 6 Essential Chess Skills a Well-Rounded Boost up to Expert Level
All while avoiding skill imbalances, which negate your progress in other areas and drag you down.
Through 17.5 hours of video, the former world #3 will build up your tactics and strategy, calculation, positional play, opening and endgame technique.
Then more than 530 MoveTrainer® exercises turn your new knowledge into lifelong skills through repetition — while the chapter tests and point system show your ‘sticking points.’ So you can fix them.
Simply put, this course contains the entire improvement feedback loop… which you can switch on anytime, anywhere with Yusupov at the helm.
