Because the TV series produced by Netflix often release the entire episode at once, they are never hidden or reserved to create suspense, and you can enjoy watching them all at once.

This recent high-scoring drama has made me feel happy again...

"The Queen's Gambit"

Also known as "The Queen's Gambit"

The Queen's Gambit(2020)

The late 1950s. Kentucky, USA.

The heroine Beth Harmon has been dependent on her mother since she was a child.

When she was eight years old, her mother died in a car accident, and she was fostered in a local orphanage for girls.

In the orphanage, Beth was introverted and didn't like to talk.

But her learning ability is very strong. She can make sense of everything she teaches, draw inferences from one instance, and her memory is amazing.

She can quickly fully master the knowledge taught by the teacher.

She was only halfway through writing other people’s test papers, but she had already finished them all with full marks...

As a result, Beth was often given special "rewards" by teachers - cleaning up the blackboard erasers.

While cleaning the blackboard eraser, Beth met a strange old man who often looked at a checkered plate in a daze.

The strange old man is the school cleaner. After finishing his work, he will sit and stare at these things for a long time in a daze.

Beth asked curiously, what is this?

The old man didn’t want to answer at first, but later he was asked more questions. He told Beth impatiently that this was chess.

Beth asked curiously, can I learn from it? It looked very fun.

The old man said, it’s a beautiful idea, this is not something you want to learn, you should read a book to learn!

Beth did not give up, she continued to tell the old man, I want to learn chess, you can teach me.

The old man said, I never teach strangers and I don’t have time!

After finishing speaking, the old man began to concentrate on playing chess with himself and ignored Beth again.

If it were an ordinary person, he might have left long ago out of pride.

But Beth did not leave. She stared at the chessboard curiously and began to study how to play this thing.

After a while, just through simple observation, I have basically figured out the rules of playing chess.

This surprised the old man and he could hardly believe his eyes and ears.

He asked a few more rules, and Beth answered them all correctly.

The old man was very surprised. He said directly, if you understand the rules, then let’s play the next game.

The two began to play chess.

Not surprisingly, Beth lost, and she lost with the killer move of the four-round checkmate.

Beth wants to learn, but the old man doesn't want to teach her now.

When Beth returned to the dormitory at night, she couldn't sleep all night, thinking about the mysterious chessboard and the ever-changing chess pieces.

The sedatives given to students by the school caused her to hallucinate and reason about the chess game while half asleep.

She will reason countless times for every move.

She will also calculate every move made by her opponent countless times.

Wherever she lost last time, she would find a way to deal with it next time.

Soon, that strange old man was no longer her opponent, and she would lose every game.

The old man knew that he did not lose unfairly, because the little girl opposite was a genius, and it was very likely that he had met one in hundreds of years. That kind of thing.

So he put aside his arrogance and began to formally teach Beth how to play the chess game, various sure-kill games, tactics, and the rules of the game.

In order to train Beth, he hired coaches from the Chess Association and the high school team to compete.

The coach initially felt that he was wasting his time, but he did not expect to be killed and was so devastated that he was convinced of the defeat.

Because Beth can play chess with him and the old man at the same time, or blindly...

Beth successfully enrolled in the Chess Society, where she easily defeated all the high school students.

Everyone was collectively "humiliated" by a little girl....

Bei Silk rose to fame and became a rising star in the American chess world.

But at that time, the growing environment for female chess players was very harsh. There was no special group for women in the competition. They could only compete with male chess players as the most junior players and won. Only then can you enter the next level...

This is how Beth walked up step by step, from small town champion to state champion. And then to the national championship.

Defeated all the masters along the way, and even defeated the grand master.

Her victory shocked the entire United States...

Beth invited her adoptive mother to be her agent and officially entered the chess world.

They participated in the competition together to win the championship, receive bonuses, eat all the delicious food, and enjoy life...

p>

Just because success and money came so easily, Beth soon fell into a boring and decadent life.

She smokes and drinks, using "sedatives" to stimulate her brain and gain inspiration.

Her private life is a mess, everyone is betrayed and divorced, and everyone around her wants to defraud her of money, but no one really wants to. Care about her...

What's worse is that due to long-term drug abuse, drug dependence has developed, and her mental state has also deteriorated. Something went wrong.

Beth often falls into hallucinations and is unable to extricate herself, or else she is manic, angry, and moody.

"The Queen's Chess" is adapted from Walter Teves' novel and tells the story of the growth experience of a talented chess player girl.

After it was launched, word-of-mouth was overwhelming, IMDB 8.9, Douban 9.1.

Although it is a seven-episode TV series, the story is smooth and the narrative flows smoothly, making it look like a long movie.

Anya Taylor-Joy, who plays Beth, is really beautiful, with big eyes and big breasts, and a unique temperament, which is very suitable for this show.

Beth’s life experience is disappointing, and the growth of geniuses in reality is often It's not easy.

After going through a dark period, Beth returned to the place where she first grew up - the basement where she learned to play chess from a strange old man.

She remembered the old man’s teachings to her, and also recalled that she couldn’t compete because she couldn’t afford $5. It was the old man who sponsored her to compete with the masters, and she was able to compete. The next story.

Now that the old man has passed away, although she has money now, she can never repay this kindness.

In that basement, Beth actually saw photos of herself participating in the competition and winning the championship. Only then did she realize that although they had not contacted each other for many years, the old man was still thinking about her. She, pay attention to her silently...

The only photo recorded the friendship between the two across age.

Beth is not alone in this world, because there are always people who care about her.

Can Beth find her own way?

In our mediocre world, genius is like a fragile rare treasure. After being broken, there will be cracks even if it can be repaired.

How should a woman like Beth choose her own path?

I won’t spoil the story, leaving you with the full experience.
