100 Points! Read this excerpt from "Rules of the Game." A man who watched me play in the park suggested that my mother allow me to play in local chess tournaments. My mother smiled graciously, an answer that meant nothing. I desperately wanted to go, but I bit back my tongue. I knew she would not let me play among strangers.

"Is shame you fall down nobody push you," said my mother.
