My family and I have been playing chess at home for years. I taught my sons when they reached the age of 5 years old. Now they are 10 and 8 years old respectively. My youngest was invited by his teacher to represent their school in a Chess Competition. He wants to join and I fully support him. However, I do not know the first thing about a Chess Tournament, because no one in our family played in Chess Tournament. For example why is there a timer for each player? And how it is used during the competition? Are there different rules in a tournament or are the rules the same when played at home? I hope you can help me.

It would be fun to dress up like the chess pieces and have big battles! Or you could replace the pieces with Pokemon! That would be cool!
