Chess: rules, tips to win and how it helps at work

Each player has a 10-minute clock, with three extra seconds added after each move.
Invite a coworker to a focused match during a longer break and take turns making plans over the board. The shared 10-minute clock keeps the duel moving, while the extra seconds after each move leave room to pause and consider a tricky position.
