The Queen’s Gambit Chess Preview: Checkmate
25.07.2023 - 18:15 / gamepur.com
One of the strangest things about media is how it can make you consider changing your career or pursuing a new hobby. For example, movies like Top Gun caused a spike in Navy recruitment, and Community inspired people to pick up dice and start playing Dungeons & Dragons. This was also the case for Netflix’s The Queen’s Gambit, which caused a boom in Chess players.
But what if you didn’t need to go out and buy a Chess set and play with actual people? What if you could dovetail straight from watching The Queen’s Gambit into playing Chess via Netflix itself? This is the goal of The Queen’s Gambit Chess, a new project created for Netflix Games and mobile devices by Ripstone. Gamepur recently had a chance to preview the game at Ripstone’s studio before its July 25 launch date and see how Beth Harmon’s journey translates to the smaller screen.
Wait, Isn’t A Show Based On The Queen’s Gambit Just Chess?The first question everyone asks when learning about the game is, “Isn’t The Queen’s Gambit video game just Chess?” This is despite the fact there is already a The Queen’s Gambit board game, and it’s totally different from Chess.
The answer is yes and no. The Queen’s Gambit Chess is a Chess game at heart, but it’s also a lot more. It’s all about using the license to help teach people how to play Chess while also offering an easy avenue for playing the game on their own, with friends, or against strangers.
Just as The Queen’s Gambit show made Chess interesting by simplifying it, the video game aims to break players in slowly through lots of tutorials that aid people of all skill levels. Of course, you can just jump straight into playing Chess, but other elements can help improve your game before you take to the board.
The Queen’s Gambit Chess’ Story Mode Is All About Gaining/Refining SkillsThe Queen’s Gambit Chess has a very loose story mode that follows Beth’s journey throughout the show, starting with her learning how to play the game in Mr. Shaibel’s boiler room and concluding with her championship match in Moscow. At the start of her journey, Beth (and the player) are taught the absolute basics of Chess, with each piece and its functions being described in turn, with lessons demonstrating how they move.
As the story continues, Beth will face more challenging opponents, reflected through increasing complexity puzzles. These often involve putting the enemy into Checkmate as quickly as possible, escaping from Checkmate in a single move, or eliminating all of the opponent’s pieces before they can counter you. The challenges also have rankings based on how quickly the player can complete them.
The Queen’s Gambit Chess doesn’t have a story mode in that it follows the premise of each episode, nor are there

Starfield is getting the mission boards I wish Skyrim had
There's no denying Skyrim's brilliance, but if I had to pick a fault with it, it's the lack of a quest-giving feature in towns and villages (unless, of course, you resort to mods). Thankfully, that won't be the case for Bethesda's next mammoth RPG offering, as producer Jamie Mallory has confirmed that Starfield will feature mission boards.

Legendary director William Friedkin died Monday, leaving an accomplished legacy behind as one of the greatest filmmakers of his generation. Friedkin’s career veered through a variety of genres, and there may be no better three-film run for a director than his 1971 through 1977 stretch of The French Connection, The Exorcist, and Sorcerer.
