  READING COMPREHENSION:
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
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. 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. Chess sure has come a long way. Don't you think
so?
