Waverly's mother allows her to compete in tournaments because she believes in nurturing Waverly's talent and sees it as a way for her daughter to gain respect and success. Additionally, participating in chess tournaments provides an opportunity for Waverly to achieve recognition and elevate their family's status within the Chinese-American community. Her mother's support reflects both pride in Waverly's abilities and a desire for her to excel in a competitive environment.

These rules reflect her desire to guide Waverly in navigating both their Chinese heritage and American society, emphasizing the importance of hard work and dedication in achieving success. By enforcing these rules, Waverly's mother aims to protect her daughter from potential pitfalls while fostering her talent as a chess prodigy. Ultimately, the rules represent the mother's love and aspiration for Waverly's future.
