  Sally Simpson: This lad seems to have stopped playing in 2019 and not long after that the female player Beth Harmon appeared. I'll leave kibitzers here to draw there own conclusions but I'm thinking it is too much of a coincidence.

The book the Netflix series was based on, I now have three copies. I recently picked up two for 20p each just so I could say I have three copies and have still not watched the 'Queen's Gambit'
