A series following a chess genius doesn’t seem like it would be everyone’s favourite go to binge, but like the saying goes “this is chess not checker.” The story circles around a fictional 1960s-era chess superstar Beth Harmon (Anya Taylor-Joy) and is in fact based on the novel of the same name by author Walter Tevis. e The Queen’s Gambit has taken a long time to be released and we know why, the attention to detail will blow your mind! So here are a few behind-the-scenes secrets that makes the show even more captivating.

2. The chess matches were really played
Even in scenes where the camera focuses on the actors, the game must go on!
3. The speed chess games were also real
It may seem impossible but there is no CGI involved. We might pick up chess now.
