Queen’s Gambit is an American Novel written by Walter Tevis in 1983. The novel covers a life of a female chess prodigy full of feminism, drug dependency, alcoholism, and bildungsroman. The said novel is now adapted into a Netflix original series.

Chess is a very unpredictable game, You’ll never know what will come next. In every move of your opponent, you should always take a hint of what is coming before you. Just like in life, every step you take gives you hints and choices, take choosing an outfit as an example, would you wear something that feels right for you or that feels right for others. In the game of chess, you can make choices in your moves.

Openings are really important in a game just like waking up, it gets you through a day. Pawn to king four, the most common opening for white in the game. Players use this opening to make the game smooth, or can it? The Rossolimo, one of the rarest opening used. This opening can make the game rather swift progress and it also gives you an opportunity in taking the initiative of the game.

All games have their ups and downs, one succeeds and one fails. For some people losing is not an option. As Benny Watts quoted “Why not advance the knight? Why is he not defending against the rook? What is gonna become in a backward pawn? You replay the game so you can feel the wins for yourself. Read the gamebooks like Reinfield that are full of queen sacrifices and melodrama.” Just like cooking a dish, read the recipe book, try again, and perfect your flaws.

Improving is always the key to Victory. And if you jump to the conclusion of throwing tantrums, It is not the solution that you are looking for. A Recipe of Self- Improvement, Confidence, Passion, Hard Work and Perseverance with a pinch of Aggression can serve a meal that you are looking for, Victory.
