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.

Chess lessons in Galway typically cost about €30/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.

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.
