Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.

Chess

Chess is called the game of kings. It has been around for a long time. People have been playing it for over 500 years. Chess is based on an even older game from India. The chess we play today is from Europe. Chess is a two-player game. One player uses the white pieces. The other uses the

White Chess Pieces

black pieces. Each piece moves in a special way. One piece is called the king. Each player has one.

The players take turns moving their pieces. If a player lands on a piece, he or she takes it. The

game ends when a player loses his or her king. There are a few more rules, but those are the

basics.

Some people think that chess is more than a game. They think that it makes the mind stronger.

Good chess players use their brains. They take their time. They think about what will happen next.

These skills are useful in life and in chess. Chess is kind of like a work out for the mind.

You don't always have lots of time to think when playing chess. There is a type of chess with short

time limits. It's called blitz chess. In blitz chess, each player gets ten minutes to use for the whole

game. Your clock runs during your turn. You hit the time clock after your move. This stops your

clock. It also starts the other player's clock. If you run out of time, you lose. Games of blitz chess

are fast-paced.
