There were also the fine points of chess etiquette. Keep captured men in neat rows, as well-tended prisoners. Never announce "Check" with vanity, lest someone with an unseen sword slit your throat. Never hurl pieces into the sandbox after you have lost a game, because then you must find them again, by yourself, after apologizing to all around you.

Waverly's brothers had no interest in chess, so she started playing cowboys with them.

Waverly's brothers refused to play chess with her because they thought girls shouldn't play chess.

When Waverly found out her brothers were stealing her Life Savers, she told her mom, who made them stop.

Answer:

1. She sees him as a kind teacher.

2. Part A. The children of immigrants often feel torn between two cultures.

Part B. She sets the story in Chinatown, a place where Chinese and American cultures come into contact with each other.

3. It shows that no one is careful with the instruction book.

4. Once Waverly began beating her brothers at chess, they wouldn't play with her anymore.

Explanation:

Amy Tan's short story "Rules of the Game," tells the story of a young Chinese-American girl stuck in her world of trying to 'in-between' her Chinese background and the American culture.

1. The given passage is when Waverly describes how she came to learn a lot of moves and 'secrets' from her play partner Lau Po. It was his help and guidance that she began to realize a whole lot of moves to defeat her opponent, in this case, Lau Po himself. So, in a way, Lau Po became a teacher, a kind teacher who is ready to play with her, unlike her brothers.

2. Part A. One key theme of the story is how immigrant children often feel confused and torn between what their parents or ancestors believe and how to adjust that belief along with trying to be a normal kid in the country they've adopted.

Part B. The theme that children are often torn between two cultures is best identified in Waverly's character and the setting of the story. Occurring in San Francisco's Chinatown, the children are in America but at the same time, still in China too, among Chinese people and expected to do certain things and live a certain way.

3. The phrase "dog-eared" means a thing that's been used so often that it is broken or damaged. In this sense, the "dog-eared instruction text" is the well-used instruction manual that Waverly's brother Vincent got as a Christmas gift. The condition of the book reveals that no one seems to take particular care in handling the book.

4. The given passage can be best summarized by saying that her brothers stopped playing chess with her after she stopped losing her Life Savers, resulting in their loss and unable to eat the "piece".
