I watched The Queen’s Gambit, seven episodes, over a week or so after I would go to bed. I started getting to bed a little earlier and watching a little longer as the week progressed.

I watched the 7 episodes that make up the Netflix original series The Queen’s Gambit. Whether you like chess or not, I believe, you will enjoy this show. It is based on the 1983 novel of the same name by author Walter Tevis (wrote short stories and 6 novels, 3 of which were make into movies; The Hustler, The Man Who Fell To Earth and The Color of Money). The story is about a nine year old, orphaned girl, who lost her mother in a car crash, that is taken to an orphanage, learns to play chess from the janitor and becomes a prodigy.
