“Rules of the Game” by Amy Tan

I personally love this short story and it has been one of my favourites in this past week’s reading.

It talks about how Waverly, the main character in this story plays chess games and also plays against her mother in a game that lasts a liftime.

I like this short story for many reasons, the first one is like how this story doesn’t involve killing, unlike a lot of other stories Dr. Chen makes us read.

Second of all, I could really relate to Waverly and how her relationship with her mother is sometimes very intense and how one wrong movement can ruin the entire thing.

Lastly, this book talks about chess and I love chess. Even though I only play it at home, I’m never really tired of it, and I think that it would be one of my most favourite games.
