Good tv-series. Well done Netflix. It is very nice to see such a well constructed story for entertainment. The way visual storytelling and sound design shapes the Anyas character is an interesting to watch. Additionally can definitely say that leading actress is amazingly well chosen for that role.

On the other hand from the chess game perspective tv-series can be more pro like staff. I mean who are connected to chess professionally can understand, what I am talking about.

The Queens Gambit is a good naming and dramaturgically it defines main character well. For those who are new at chess, can say that The Queens Gambit is very popular and solid opening, at the very beginning you sacrifice one pawn for better development. This idea of sacrificing anything valuable (chess players do get coz they know the value of one extra pawn) is commonly connected with the main character. And as a whole story tv-show on this stage is kind of a well established and well exposed.

Eventually we need to say that the story is fictional as well as the main character. For me personally it is very beautiful to see the woman playing chess professionally. And can definitely admire that eroticism which flow out from the board by the main character Anya Taylor-Joy is surprisingly beautiful and sexy.
