The Netfilx series Queen's Gambit probably sounds familiar to you. It tells the story of a fictional female chess prodigy who defeated not only chess players but also cruel fate and constricting social norms to become the world champion. I strongly recommend watching the show if you have not already done so as not only the plot is cohesive but also the details about chess are incredible (the director consulted Garry Kasparov for games of chess to include in the show).
Yet, what exactly is the opening Queen's Gambit in chess? This is the question that I try to provide a brief answer today. Although there will be a table of preliminary chess theories about the opening, I also included tips for playing chess and rule of chess in the chess tips page to help you understand better. If you would like to go more in depth of the theories or play a game of chess, feel free to reach out via email or chess.com!
