Yusupov's series from Quality Chess

Here is a sample exercise from the Open files and Outposts section in the first book. "... look for the best possible continuation. … write down all the necessary variations. …"

I bought the first Yusupov book, Fundamentals 1-Build up your chess at Chessable.

I was curious and excited so I tried the first 2 chapters fast-I guess 1 hour. It`s like 55 positions with learning and test. I scored well above Pass, but it showed me that I need to slow down, it`s not easy.  It was just a test to see if it was managable to solve at high speed. 
It looks like it`s a effecive way of learning. 

Yea, I will def get at least one orange one. It seems like his training course could be very helpful. 

Maybe consider Excelling at Positional Chess.

There’s a huge myth that tactics are separate from positional chess.

Morphy was a fantastic positional player in open positions. He understood the essential elements of open chess and taught the world how to play such positions. Botvinnik considérés him the best teacher of open positions.

If you mean learning how to play closed positions, those are covered in Yusupov’s books. But the early books rightly focus on developing, learning basic mates and tactics, and endgames.

Where is this huge myth found?

"... in this book ... we are ... asked ... to find a positional sequence. ... although there are tactical positions that don’t involve positional considerations, positional moves almost always involve taking tactics into account. So how do you differentiate between the tactical and the positional? ... The important thing is for the author to select positions that although they have tactics, positional considerations dominate. The author has done a good job of selecting puzzles that have this quality. ..."

In the first orange book five of the 24 subjects are:  The value of the pieces, Centralizing the pieces, Realizing a material advantage, Open files and outposts, Weak points

Every blue book:

According to yusupov himself. (jussupow.de)

And as far as i remember half the positional play excercises from the first books have a tactical solution.

"... in this book ... we are ... asked ... to find a positional sequence. ... although there are tactical positions that don’t involve positional considerations, positional moves almost always involve taking tactics into account. So how do you differentiate between the tactical and the positional? ... The important thing is for the author to select positions that although they have tactics, positional considerations dominate. The author has done a good job of selecting puzzles that have this quality. ..."

i think i might give this series a try, as soomeone who doesnt have a coach and skips from one book to another without a plan, this is the series that i might read only, together with solving puzzles online, very useful comments here too

It's definitely worth a try. I suggest buying the first Orange book and see how it goes. Here is the link to my book review video: https://youtu.be/a9oeGBn1El0
