Best Structured Learning Method - Advice needed

Dears,

I am looking for a structured approach to advance in chess, you know like at School Grade1, Grade2, Grade3, where you advance systematically while learning higher level of stuff each time, in a continuous way, etc.. I usually read books but there sometimes you find duplicate information which might waste your time, or some books are dedicated to one topic only (strategy, endgame, etc..), where i need to advance in all areas equally at the same time.

I have a 1600 ELO and i am thinking between two options and i need your advice especially for people who have tried any of the below two options:

1. Option1, is International Chess School ICS GrandMaster Package of 13months subscription

2. Option2, Artur Yusupov 9 volume books (Build your Chess1,2,3 and Boost your chess 1,2,3 and Chess Evolution 1,2,3)

Your valuable and objective comments are appreciated especially from those who have experienced any of the above methods.

Regards,

please give other options also!

Well those are the options i know about and that i am considering for now. If anybody had another suggested options, please mention them, thanks.

Those books are designed to take a year apiece and ideally be supplemented with additional materials that can reinforce the subject matter of each chapter. It does cover the whole game, though the first series (the orange books) are heavy on tactics.

I actually worked through the first set, quite a bit faster than recommended. It for sure pointed out areas where I'm pretty weak. I can't speak to the quality of the rest of the series. There are some topics on the site where the books are discussed in detail.

I've ran across other series of books in the past that might also be good (though I don't have them to verify). Here is one example:

Thanks for the feedback. any other ideas or feedback about Artur 9 volumes?

What is the difference between "School of Future Champions" book series and "School of Excellence" book series, which are both by Mark Dvoretsky??

Hi, I've been using Yusupov Orange 1, Orange 3, Blue 1 and Green 2. I think they are excellent textbooks, if you're ready to work seriously. You'll find them quite challenging, but they are excellent to develop core skills such as calculation and endgame play.

I don't know about ICS, but a google search should bring some reviews. What I've read in the past was rather positive, and Itrasescu has a good reputation as a trainer in France.

Dvoretsky's books are very different and very advanced (2000+)

I really don't know. I originally was planning on linking that series but it looked less like what was being asked for than the one I linked. Both are probably useful, though I can't be sure.

Thank you for the feedback.
