I recently watched the seven-episode miniseries "The Queen's Gambit." Despite being unfamiliar with chess, I was captivated by the intricacies of this complex world. The series follows the story of an orphaned prodigy who learns chess from an orphanage janitor, shaping her entire life around the game. As she navigates the emotional challenges of her youth, the series keeps you engaged without giving away too much-I won't spoil it.

The show unveils a new perspective on chess, showcasing the intellectual complexities and various playing styles within the world of chess, arguably the greatest intellectual sport. Anyone watching this series, even without prior chess knowledge, will likely feel a sense of regret for not delving into the intricacies of this fascinating game.
