Life, like war, compares to the game of chess. There are two sides, and they take turn moving their pieces in play.

Whether this is in sports, school, work or even a simple day to day task; the idea of possibly not being as good as the guy next to you drives the individual to push harder, to dig deep and be the best he or she can be. This is no different in A Separate Peace. In this essay we will look at the way competition affected Finny and Gene, the way Finny made new games to entertain his longing for competition, and Gene’s drive to be the best and smartest student at the school.

She imagines that the wind is blowing, knocking down the knight. This relates to the title because Lau Po is teaching Waverly his rules of winning a chess tournament. Therefore, chess is a game that involves many rules and strategies to be successful.
