     Chess must be one of the oldest games in the world. An Arab traveler in the year 900 wrote that it
was played "long long ago". Chess was probably invented in India, and it has been played everywhere
from Japan to Europc since 1400. The name "chess" is interesting. When one player is attacking the
other's king, he says, in English, "check". When the king has been caught and cannot move anywhere,
he says "check mate". These words come from Persian (波斯語(yǔ)). It means "the king is dead". That is
when the game is over, and one player has won.
     Such an old game changes very slowly. The rules have not always been the same as they are now.
For example,at one time the queen could only movc one square (方塊) at a time. Now she is the
strongest piece on the board. It would be interesting to know why this has happened! Chess takes time
and thought, but it is a game for all kinds of people. You don't have to be a winner in order to enjoy it.
Two people sitting at the same table do not always play it. The first time the Amcricans beat the Russians
was in a match played by radio. Some people are able to play with many people at the same time. One
man played 400 games! It is said that some people play chess by post. This must make chess the
slowest game in the world.

     From the early days of history people looked for ways of telling the time, but it was not until the thirteenth century that machines for telling the time
were invented.These first clocks were very big. They had no faces or hands
but they did have a bell. It rang every hour.
     In the seventeenth century, people began to use clocks with faces and
hands and to carry small clocks with them.
     For a long time after that, men and women had pocket watches. These
were usually tied (檢) to a button (紐扣) on the person's clothes.

her baby and she needed to have both hands free to hold the child.
