1 _____ 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
4 chess we play today is from Europe. Chess is a two-player
game. One player uses the white pieces. The other uses the
black pieces. Each piece moves in a special way. One piece is
7 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.
10 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
13 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 workout for the mind. You don't always have
16 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
19 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
22 chess are fast-paced. Chess is not just for people. Computers
have been playing chess since the 1970s. At first they did not
play well. They made mistakes. As time went on they grew
25 stronger. In 1997, a computer beat the best player in the
world for the first time. It was a computer called Deep Blue.
Deep Blue was big. It took up a whole room. By 2006 a cell
28 phone could beat the best players in the world. Chess sure
has come a long way.
