FAQ's
🧬 What is the 20-40-40 rule in chess?
This rule helps players balance their practice across openings, middlegames, and endgames.
- 20% goes to openings, where you learn the main ideas rather than memorise long move sequences.
- Middlegame work takes 40%, blending tactical puzzles with strategic themes such as pawn structures.
- The remaining 40% targets the endgame, where converting advantages or saving draws often decides the result.
A balanced approach ensures you can finish games as well as you start them.
💰 How much do chess lessons cost in Galway?
Chess lessons in Galway typically cost about €27/h per hour.
Several factors can affect the final rate you pay.
- How experienced you already are with the game.
- The coach's qualifications, such as FIDE rating, teaching experience, or tournament record.
- Session duration and how often you meet, since bundles may reduce the hourly rate.
- How lessons are delivered: video call, home visit, or at a club venue.
Some coaches provide discounted packages for those who book multiple sessions upfront.
⚡ What are the three golden rules of chess?
These principles give you a strong foundation before the real battle begins.
- Control the centre by placing pawns or pieces on e4, d4, e5, and d5.
- Development means activating knights and bishops before moving the same piece twice.
- Protect your king, usually by castling, to connect your rooks and shelter the king.
Many beginners lose quickly by ignoring one of these basics.
