Chess had a long history in America, yet they were now being defeated by other countries.
Jessica Daimler had always been sore about this as the American Chess Association's president. Although she had beat all the other female chess players in the world, she still trailed behind the male players.
But now, there was someone in America who could win a match against her! While it was humiliating for her, she now saw a glimmer of hope for the country's chess community.
Jessica Daimler thought that this young man would definitely accede to her request since she was already humbling herself by bowing down to him as the American Chess Association's president.
Never in a million years would she have expected to see Finn Taylor wave her off. "I'm not part of your chess community, and I have no interest in participating in some chess competition."
Rejection! She had been rejected!
