Bobby Fischer who was a chess champion‚ says‚ “There will never be a woman grand master." "Your move‚ Bobby‚” in a magazine caption. This shows that people think that women are not capable and do not have the power to win at anything against men. Waverly proves him wrong by becoming a national chess champion
