The Queen's Gambit

The Queen's Gambit

Eight-year-old orphan Beth Harmon is a quiet, gloomy and, no matter how you look at it, unremarkable girl. Everything changes when she finishes her first game of chess. Her senses become sharper, her thoughts become clearer, for the first time in her life she feels that she is in complete control of herself. At sixteen, she is already participating in the US Open Championship. The girl perfects her technique, but the stakes continue to rise, and her isolation from the world begins to cause more and more concern. The thought of escape becomes more and more tempting.
