Hello,
I am new in Chess and I have some questions. How are the clocked
Chess games like?
When they end and how do we know which player won the game?
Do we look at the remaining pieces
and their value is added up?
Or by the quantity of moves played...
or checks?
Greetings and keep up the good work,
you really have a very nice web page.

Hi,
A Chess game can
end in several ways: checkmate, stalemate, draw, resigning,
losing on time, etc.
The remaining
pieces have nothing to do with the outcome of a won or lost game
since a player can have more pieces than his opponent and still
be defeated.
The quantity of
played moves or quantity of checks is irrelevant in determining
which player won the game.
On tournaments, a
double Chess clock with two buttons is used with each player
having the same amount of time to make their moves. When a
player makes his move, he pushes his side button which in turn
activates the opponent's clock and halts his own clock. Same
applies to the opponent.
Near to the 12:00 O'clock position
(in both clocks) there is a red flag which is used to visually
let a player know when either time's player is up. This happens
when the large clock's manor surpasses the flag and the flag drops down
signaling the end of a timed game.
