In chess tournaments, you will be told how much time you have to make all of your moves in the game. In scholastic tournaments [tournaments for children], the time control is normally a game in 30 minutes for each player or a total game time of an hour. If a player runs out of time, his opponent can claim a win, provided he has sufficient mating material on the board.

You can use as much or as little time on each move as you like, but don’t run out! It is best to pace yourself. If you move too fast, chances are you will make a mistake. If you move too slowly, the quality of your moves usually goes up, but you may run out of time and lose the game that way.

Using a clock in a chess game is like taking a test in school. If you spend all your time on the first problem, you may get it right, but you will do poorly on the test because you didn’t answer the other questions. If you answer each question too quickly, the answers are usually wrong and incomplete. As both a student and a chess player, you must learn to find a balance.
