FAQ's
🎯 How do you get better at chess?
The most effective chess learners combine study, practice, and regular review.
- Learn the rules thoroughly: A solid grasp of all the rules removes confusion and lets you focus on strategy.
- Solve tactical puzzles: Puzzles sharpen your pattern recognition and train you to spot winning combinations.
- Study classic games: Classic games are a goldmine for learning middlegame ideas and endgame technique.
- Review your own games: Honest self-review helps you break bad habits and develop more accurate thinking.
Working with an experienced coach accelerates your progress significantly compared to self-study alone.
♟️ Can you explain the 20-40-40 rule in chess?
Chess coaches often recommend the 20-40-40 rule to get the most out of your practice time.
- Openings (20%): Just 20% of your time covers openings: learn the main ideas rather than memorising every variation.
- Middlegame (40%): The largest chunk — 40% — goes to tactical puzzles, piece coordination, and strategic planning.
- Endgame (40%): Mastering endgames takes the final 40%: king activity, pawn structures, and converting winning positions.
With a structured approach like this, your overall level rises much faster than playing games alone.
