With its beautifully rendered map, multiplayer options, and educational resources, The Queen’s Gambit Chess invites players to delve into Beth Harmon‘s world and gain a deeper understanding of the game. It must be emphasized, however, that the game is only accessible via a Netflix subscription. 

Seeing chess through Beth’s eyes

At the core of The Queen’s Gambit Chess is a meticulously crafted map that serves as a central hub for players. This map showcases Beth’s favorite attacks and defensive moves and serves as a guiding light throughout the game. Within this hub, players can engage in custom games on both 3D and 2D chess boards, set weekly game goals to earn rewards, and access a comprehensive library of chess lessons.

Another feature called “Beth Vision” allows players to experience the chessboard from Beth’s perspective, helping them formulate their next moves and predict potential threats, mirroring Beth’s skills in the series. The game also allows players to connect with the characters that viewers have grown fond of. Players can learn chess from the wise Mr. Shaibel, engage in matches against the formidable Borgov, or even challenge Beth herself.

Moreover, the game assists beginners or those in need of a refresher to learn and track chess terminologies with the app’s in-game glossary. Players also have the option to experience chess in both multiplayer and solo modes. They can further choose from three difficulty levels — novice, intermediate, and advanced — and progress through chess lessons at a pace that best suits them.
