Walter Tevis - Queen's Gambit - George Neave - 30-10-2020 Fascinating article about Walter Tevis - author of Queen's Gambit - which is currently airing on Netflix - a surprisingly authentic account of chess life although I must say I have not come across anyone resembling this series heroine at any of the congresses I have attended ![]() Enjoy the article and don't miss this on Netflix https://www.telegraph.co.uk/books/authors/queens-gambit-netflix-true-story-author-walter-tevis/ RE: Walter Tevis - Queen's Gambit - Andy McCulloch - 30-10-2020 heroin??? I thought she was into alcohol. RE: Walter Tevis - Queen's Gambit - George Neave - 30-10-2020 (30-10-2020, 05:47 PM)Andy McCulloch Wrote: heroin??? LOL - now corrected. In fact tranquilisers and alcohol. This reminds me how ritalin - the drug kids get for ADHD - is meant to enhance chess performance. I understand it is supposed to help you concentrate. My wife's a teacher and I keep asking her if she can get me some off the kids at school so I can try it out but, as you can see from my rating graph, she is not having much success ![]() |
