The Queen's Gambit' is a royal triumph to watch, even for chess

Netflix may have fallen flat with their last few romantic comedies, however, their recent drama release, “The Queen’s Gambit” reminds viewers of the streaming service’s production and entertainment quality all while launching yet another topic into the mainstream: chess. Despite the show’s short run, Anya Taylor-Joy and the straightforward — yet gripping — plot completely capture one’s attention about a game not normally known to induce the intrigue seen in this Cold War-era limited series. From Taylor-Joy’s masterful performance as chess prodigy, Beth Harmon, to the show’s depiction of addiction to the competitive thrill of sports drama, “The Queen’s Gambit” plays all the right moves (sorry, I’ll stop with the chess puns now).
