Historical Context:

As a result of wars, famine, and political oppression, Chinese immigration to the United States dates back to the mid-1800s. Chinese immigrants came to the United States looking for better economic opportunities so they could provide for their families and send money to their relatives back home. San Francisco became a hub of Chinese culture; however, immigrants still faced many challenges like reduced wages, long work hours, and discrimination. What can you infer about the narrator of "Rules of the Game"? She is a bad competitor. She is a clever chess player. She is a poor decision maker. She is too young for competition.
