Explanation:

Waverly is the main character and the narrator in the short story "Rules of the Game" by Amy Tan. She is the young daughter of a Chinese immigrant who lives in America. Waverly is clever and gifted, having become a successful chess player at a very young age. She and her mother are different, unable to see eye-to-eye. Even though she knows her mother is proud of her and wants her to be successful, Waverly does not appreciate the way her mother shows her pride to others. She feels as if she is being used, displayed like a trophy.

After painfully revealing her discomfort toward her mother's actions, the two have a brief tense moment. Waverly knows her mother is an intelligent woman. She has learned valuable life lessons from her already. She knows her mother's power lies in self-control and silence. Waverly sees their relationship now as she sees a game of chess, only this one cannot be won. Her mother knows which moves to make, and Waverly feels powerless. That feeling as to their being at odds is expressed in the sentence:

Her black men advanced across the plane, slowly marching to each successive level as a single unit.
