Brief

Gameplay

Units

The lack of Randomness and possibility to think several moves ahead make Chess prone to Analysis Paralysis. In Tournament forms of the game Time Limits are typically added to individual moves or a players' total time, or both, to counter this. This also serves to help synchronize the different games within the tournament but also induces Time Pressure (which may make the games more interesting to Spectators).
