Netflix show, The Queen’s Gambit — based on an orphaned chess prodigy — has amassed huge viewership and fan following. Commenting on the world created by the series, Martin shared it was very close to him. QUEEN’S GAMBIT brought it all back to me vividly. I was the captain of my high school chess team, the founder and president of my college chess club. “It has been many many decades since I last ran a chess tournament or even played a game of chess, and the memories had faded… but QUEEN’S GAMBIT brought them all back.”
