The Queen's Gambit (2020)
This drama came out during COVID and brought some fun to my life spent mostly indoors lololol At 9 years old, Beth loses her mother and is sent to an orphanage. There, she learns chess from Mr. Shaibel, the janitor, and reveals an astonishing genius. Her dependence on drugs begins here, as she starts taking tranquilizers provided by the orphanage. Around age 15, she's adopted, but her adoptive father leaves, leaving her with only her adoptive mother. To earn money, she enters a chess tournament and wins, gaining recognition. Her adoptive mother becomes her manager, and they travel the world together. She strives to become the chess champion, but the pressure of competition and trauma lead her into a deep spiral of alcohol and drug addiction. She faces significant setbacks, losing or forfeiting in major international tournaments. After her adoptive mother's death, she reunites with Jolene, a friend from the orphanage, and with the help of rivals and colleagues like Benny Watts and Townes, she quits drugs and alcohol to compete in the world's top chess tournament. Available on Netflix!

It's interesting that they have a talent for chess but it led to drug use.

The Queen's Gambit is impressive not just for telling the story of a chess prodigy, but for depicting one person's growth, hardships, and journey of overcoming them. It's especially inspiring to see Beth continuously move towards her dreams despite facing various challenges. The chess theme is fresh, and the protagonist's psychological changes and relationships with those around her are well-portrayed, making it even more immersive. Reading your introduction makes me really want to watch it too! Thanks for the great drama recommendation!

For reference, I don't know if Queen's Gambit from the title appears since I haven't watched it, but there's d5, d4, c4. If you do dxc4, it's accepted. If you do e6, it's declined. c6 is called the Slav Defense. It's quite a good opening. From here, there's also the Semi-Slav, and out of nowhere, you can do e5 for the Albin Countergambit, and there are many possibilities.
