Are We There Yet? vol. 39
My wife and I are currently watching the Netflix series, The Queen’s Gambit. The story is about a chess prodigy, Beth Harmon, who was orphaned at a young age and scarred from the mistreatment she receives at the orphanage. Those early experiences fuel her anger, competitiveness, passion and addiction as she begins competing, winning tournaments and gaining fame in the world of chess. I never played chess but the series makes me want to learn and it has brought a level of excitement about the game.
