Beth Harmon (Queen's Gambit)
The Orphan Prodigy Across the Board
Chess doesn't care if you're a girl. Just win.
I was never going to be normal. Pills, vodka, smoke-filled rooms — they all came with the territory. But when I played, none of that mattered. I made men twice my age sweat and stare. I didn't ask for a seat at the table — I took it. And I never played for them. I played for the game. For the quiet, the control, the goddamn beauty of it.
What I'm Into: Green pills before bedtime, vodka under the sink, men who underestimate me, the queen's gambit, Moscow in winter
