Hello Iswar:
I practiced a bit on my own...I developed myself to beginner level...But I am not confident about my middle and end game...ofcource I am not good at openings as well.
So, will "Yusupov's build up your chess book." helps me to get better?

This guy says the same thing about every book, video, etc that's mentioned, don't pay any attention. It's actually full of high quality material.

Yusupov's build up your chess is not a bad book but it is for 1800 rated player.The variation in that book is quite advanced.Martin Weteschnik in his book chess tactics from scratch says that tactics is strategy also.Even magnus carslen said that to reach 2700 rating you need only deep knowledge of tactics and opening.In middlegame ang endgame tactics are involved.If you know the basic of endgame and positional motifs you can create tactics in middlegame and endgame.For basic positional motifs you can look at chesstempo website.For basic endgame you can look at seirawan winning chess endings which you can get for free at the internet.After that study mate in one puzzle.For middlegame combination or tactics study Tal's winning chess combination and martin weteschnik chess tactics from scratch.for endgame tactics study van perlo endgame tactics.by studying this tactics you will learn strategy as well.It will help you to get 1800 rating at tactics trainer.

Play OTB against strong players and learn from them
I've found it curious when someone asks such a General question.
whole books have been written about chess improvement. and their authors are definitely more thoughtful and instructive than we are.
chess is simple. play a good opening, win material and eventually promote a pawn to a queen when all other pieces have been exchanged OR checkmate the king.
you will need to play games seriously, study concepts and winning moves, and review your own game for bad moves if you want to improve.
books and coaches are helpful but not necessary. some people can not afford them. you can find many helpful things on the internet for free if you look.
@great_patzer:
Chess is simple?
yes.
checkmate or make checkmate inevitable
and
you win. as easy as that.
You can also just get a board out and start with kings and pawns. Setup certain positions and just play, then start adding and varying it. Some don't even need a board or pieces for this, and can just do it in their mind.
You want to learn all basic mates. Study their positions, and how those positions are arrived at. Also you want to learn all basic mating patterns. I didn't know squat about openings till I was 12 or 13. However because I played with the pieces on the board starting at 7, I learned at least a little about piece coordination, and pawn structures, which are critical to understand to improve. Hope this is helpful to you, and good luck.
