The series “The Queen’s Treasure” was shot based on the novel by the American writer Walter Tevis “Fersy Gambit”, published in 1983.
Beth Harmon orphan - her father left the family, and her mother committed suicide - she grows in a shelter, where she is taught, how to be a good wife and mother, and not an independent and strong woman. Nothing foreshadowed that Beth Harmon would become a grandmaster and the world champion. Beth demonstrates good mathematics abilities. And then he meets the manager of the shelter, which teaches her game in chess. And these lessons will determine its future.
Beth Harmon never really existed, but other famous chess players, including Bobby Fisher and Harry Kasparov, were bred in the series. The question arises - how reliable it can be considered?

• What is the role of women in the role of women in chess?
• What chess players and chess players have become prototypes of the characters of the series?
• What famous parties and places of tournaments are encrypted in the series? • What atmosphere reigned at the tournaments of those years?
• Do you have to have special abilities to play chess? Bet Harmon?
• How exactly does the series follow the novel?
• How did the “queen’s course” influenced interest in a chess game around the world?
