    I got totally sidetracked, because I thought of “Arrow”, where, in the flashbacks in the first season, Oliver’s family yacht was “The Queen’s Gambit”, and I completely didn’t think of chess.

  2. Tery says:

    When is ken scheduled to return?

  3. Howard says:

    Never saw the show, but I knew it was chess-related. Only player I’ve heard of in the past 40 years was Garry Kasparov, so that was my guess. Good for Emma! Bobby Fischer died 14 years ago.

  4. Rick says:

    I never watched ‘The Queen’s Gambit’, ;but I heard Garry Kasparov’s name being floated around in recent times. Well, now I know why.

  5. Jacob Ska says:

    I don’t watch the show but figured out the response from the title since I do play chess. Congratulations Emma.

  6. Lou says:

    If only Ben had doubled up on his bet on the final that would have made the game in his favor. Congrats to Emma and Ben on getting final right. Anyway, have you played chess in the past, Howard, and how good are you in that game?

    • Howard says:

      I played a little chess as a kid, but wasn’t especially good, and lost interest in it.
      Ben would not have won the game had he bet it all; he’d have finished second.
