About The Queen’s Gambit (novel) in brief
The Queen’s Gambit is an American novel by Walter Tevis, exploring the life of a female chess prodigy. The book was adapted for the 2020 Netflix miniseries of the same name. The novel’s epigraph is \”The Long-Legged Fly\” by W. B. Yeats. In March 2019, Netflix ordered a limited series based on the novel, also titled The Queen’s Gambit. Anya-Joy plays the lead role of the series, while Scott Frank serves as writer, director, and producer. It was released on October 23, 2020, to widespread attention and critical acclaim.
There were two previous attempts to adapt the book, both unsuccessful, but when Tevis died in 1984, Scottish journalist Jesse Kornbluth acquired the screen rights. In 1992, Tevis called off the project when the project was called off, and in 1992, Scottish director Scott Taylor was called in to write the screenplay. It is also highly praised for the technical accuracy of its depictions of chess: New Yorker’s reviewer was especially enthused with the novelist’s recreation of the obsessive world of chess.
