The family's goal is to just eat and live for the next day, Fiona and brian are strictly instructed by Naraku that they must sell the maze worth 1000 shillings to return home after brian finishes his part of selling maize, he just hands his basket to Fiona and goes somewhere. 

On the other hand, we see robert a football coach and a talented engineer looking for a stable job despite his good marks In college, he's denied a job interviews as he does not have anyone in the higher ranks in politics. 

He teaches the kids of slums to play football because he thinks it's the only way they can improve their living standard. 

When some of the kids are afraid to play football, he suggests they play chess as it will help them improve their intellect. 

The next day, when brian once again leaves early by handing his basket to Fiona, she decides to track him. 

She secretly follows him and reaches a place where robert is teaching the kids of slums to play chess there. 

Fiona sees Children happily playing and enjoying the porridge that robert is providing them for free. 

While Fiona's looking at all this robert notices her and calls her inside as soon as she enters some of the Children their start making fun of her, they call her a pig as she is smelling bad. 

When a boy teases her to her limit, she attacks and fights with him, Robert likes her fighting spirit and he offers a jug of porridge.

After some days Fiona starts getting better at chess and even defeats the boys in their training class, robert carefully supervises her game and finds her playing some moves which he never taught her. 

Later he asks her about where she learned the moves. 

Fiona replies that she learned it all by herself as she does not know how to read books and extract ideas. 

Soon the kids start asking robert about when he'll take them to play against the rich boys in the city. 

Afterwards, robert visits the office of Enoch Bar Rumba, the chairman of the Chess Federation. 

He requests the Roomba to allow his Children to play in the father grimes tournament happening soon. 

Buruma refuses his request, stating that only sophisticated Children will be there and only pointing out that the slum Children have no manners and discipline. 

However, robert manages to convince him after promising to pay the registration fees of the kids. 

Following that we see robert playing football to collect some money for the chess tournament.
