hello this is David Sullivan from chess
NYC again today I'd like to talk to you
about blitz chess and use of a chess
clock most serious games are chess or
time and actually that's a really good
thing I think a lot of people are under
the impression that chess is an
extremely slow game when actually it
often is an extremely fast game one
popular form of the game is called
5-minute blitz on the clock face each
side has it says five minutes there's a
button that corresponds to each side of
the clock when one person moves they
move and with the same hand that they
touch the piece they touch their side of
the clock when they touch their side of
the clock their own time stops in their
opponent's time starts then their
opponent makes a move and touches the
clock and you keep making moves and
hitting the clock until either one side
wins the game there's a checkmate or a
draw result or somebody runs out of time
on the clock if you run out of time on
the clock you lose my personal addiction
is one-minute blitz on the internet in
fact a friend of mine calls that video
chess crack where you play you play each
side has one minute to make every move
in the whole game so that's the entire
game of chess will last less than two
minutes you're packing the whole thing
into less than two minutes and it's
produces a thrill which is unusual and
and it's so addictive that's why he
calls it what I called it it's the best
game in the world
you
