Tournament Play!
Tournaments are a fantastic way to test your skills, meet other chess players, and enter the amazing chess community!
Many cities have local chess clubs that you can search online.
Chess players bring their own chess boards and chess clocks during competitions.
The chess clock keeps track of the total time each player takes for their own moves.
When one person runs out of time, that player loses the game. The only exception is if the opposing player does not have any material that can checkmate the opponent (such as ONLY one knight, or ONLY one bishop).
