The Queen's Total Power. The Queen's classification, as a Major Piece, is due to her combined, long-range diagonal reach of the Bishop AND the long-range reach, along the straights, that the Rooks enjoy. In one move, the Queen can simultaneously attack multiple pieces. The Queen's Gambit is a pretty show.While young Beth (Isla Johnston) sticks to her drab orphanage uniform, older Beth's wardrobe grows more lavish as she cycles through a collection of sleek. The queen chess piece is like a combination of the Rook and Bishop chess pieces. Each player starts out with one queen piece (although any pawn that makes it to the other side of the board can be traded in for another queen, which is why some chess sets come with extra queens). The queen can move forward or diagonal in any direction. The piece that - most often - 'looks like horse', is the Knight.For each turn for the Knight, it gets to travel 3 squares of the Board, in a kind of elongated L-shape - you'll see this better is the Basic Chess Moves section. Each player has a white square on their near right corner. The queen goes on the square of her own color; as a result, the kings and queens face each other.
Anya Taylor-Joy is making (chess) moves in The Queen's Gambit!
Drug addiction is not a new concept in prestige television, but Beth Harmon's substance abuse in Netflix's new miniseries The Queen's Gambit does look rather different from that of her peers in. That’s a bit much considering the look of your props and avatar don’t matter to the game. And (most of the time) the ads don’t pop up in the middle of the game, they pop up when you’re waiting for the opponent. It’s a total ripoff. Please just do away with the whole game pigeon plus thing.
The 24-year-old actress plays a chess master named Beth in the upcoming limited series heading to Netflix.
'The upcoming limited series, based on Walter Tevis' novel, stars Taylor-Joy as Beth, a lonely girl who discovers an astonishing talent for chess through games with the janitor (Bill Camp) at her orphanage. As she hones her skills, she also develops an addiction to the tranquilizers used as a sedative by the state. Transforming into an impressively skilled and glamorous outcast, Beth becomes determined to conquer the male-dominated world of competitive chess, even as her personal demons continue to haunt her,' according to EW.
Marielle Heller, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Moses Ingram, and Harry Melling also star in the show.
If you missed it, Anya is being considered to star in an upcoming spin-off of this hit movie.

The subject of today's discussion might sound bizarre for most of you. Indeed, all the chess coaches as well as books, magazines and Web sites teach you how to win your games and here we talk about when to resign? And yet, I think any experienced chess player knows what I am talking about. Just look at the following games :
'So what?', many of you would ask, 'we see this kind of games every day in our chess club'. Indeed, this kind of 'endgame' where a lonely King fights practically the whole opponent's army is very common in the games played in parks or in your local Elementary School championship. But unfortunately all the games above were played in the Invitational US Championship (an adult Championship, mind you!) and the 'Player X' played all the games till a checkmate regardless of the position and the opponent's title. Some of you might call the last 15 - 20 moves in every game just a waste of time, but look at the situation from a different angle. In all the games the opponents of the 'Player X' were Masters or International Masters, so playing out this kind of a position is like saying ' I know that you have a ginormous material advantage , but are you good enough to checkmate me with an extra Queen?'. Some people probably can get insulted.

Another extreme is when a chess player resigns too early. Sometimes he does it (or at least has the temptation to do it) for a reason. Look for example at my own game:
After Kramnik played 18.f4! (somehow I totally missed this simple move), I immediately realized what happened, but of course it was too late. With absolutely no counter play in the center or on the Queen's Side, Black can only helplessly wait till White annihilates him on the King's Side. Black's position is absolutely hopeless, but it was a Super Tournament (Karpov won it) and we played in a theatre packed with spectators. This explains my comment to this game published in the New in Chess magazine: 'I should have resigned on the 18th move but was afraid that spectators wouldn't understand.' By the way, I think professional chess players should never forget that sometimes we need to play even absolutely clear positions for other people. Like in my last week's story I kept playing an absolutely drawn endgame for my wife (http://www.chess.com/article/view/should-your-girlfriendwife-play-chess), here I played a completely lost position for the chess fans who wanted to see the beautiful finish of Kramnik's positional masterpiece. So I thought that I had the right to resign only when it was absolutely clear that my King was going to get checkmated very soon.
But sometimes chess players resign a position which is not lost. Moreover, there are some examples where a game was resigned in a completely winning position! Here is probably the most infamous and old example where Black resigned in a winning position:
So, what is a proper point to resign a game? As always the answer is : 'it depends!' If you are a beginner, then you should never resign: Play till checkmate. First of all, your opponent, who is probably a beginner himself, may possibly stalemate you despite (or because of) his huge material advantage. But even if he does beat you, you'll get another lesson how to convert a winning advantage in to a win. But if you are an advanced chess player, then playing every single game till your opponent actually checkmates you is not the strategy I would recommend. Use your common sense because only you can decide what is the exact point when there is absolutely no hope to save the game. Just ask yourself from time to time what is the chance my opponent doesn't win this position. If the answer is 'only if he has a heart attack right now,' then probably it is time to quit.
