Read the passage and answer questions 16-20
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 a very old 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 black ones.
Each piece moves in a special way. One piece is called the king and each player has one. The
players take turns moving their pieces. 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 workout 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.
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 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 phone could beat the
best players in the world.
