The 20-40-40 rule is a study framework that divides your training time into three phases.

• Spend 20% on openings, focusing on understanding plans instead of rote memorisation.
• 40% is devoted to the middlegame, covering tactics like forks, pins, and skewers alongside positional strategy.
• Endgames also receive 40% because knowing basic king-and-pawn or rook endings wins many games.

A balanced approach ensures you can finish games as well as you start them.

The three golden rules guide your first moves and help you avoid early mistakes.

• Occupy or attack the central squares because pieces there influence the whole board.
