		netvarun on Nov 25, 2013 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: How to Get Good at Chess, Fast If you are looking for a systematic learning program, I would like to suggest Artur Yusupov's training program (9 books that gradually increase in difficulty). http://www.qualitychess.co.uk/docs/14/artur_yusupovs_awardwi...

Truly great books, but not for beginners. If you're ambitious rated 1700 or so, these are the best.

Beginners should look at the workbooks from "Chess Steps". Cheap and very good too. After Step 5 you can switch to Yusupov.
