The Queen’s Gambit is a Netflix Limited Series that follows the journey of Beth Harmon, an orphaned chess prodigy in the 1960s, as she rises to the top of the chess world while battling personal demons and addiction, with its compelling storytelling, stunning visuals, and captivating performances.

The minimalist, almost surreal design with oversized chess pieces and floating pills conveys the show’s central themes of strategy, struggle, and Beth’s personal battles. The use of muted colours and the central focus on Beth, with her poised and determined stance, adds to the intensity and drama of the series.
