The king.

At first I thought about drawing Elizabeth but Borgov looked as more interesting challenge to me for his face lines and his facial structure.

If this gets enough attention I might draw Elizabeth soon.

the science of parting

Beth Harmon x Vasily Borgov (The Queen's Gambit)

Rated E | Post-Canon

The first thing he’ll do when he returns to Moscow is to toss his clothes into the wash. The second is to kiss his son and ask if he behaved well for his mother. The third—once Fedya joins his friends in the playground—is to make love to his wife. He has tonight and two more days until then. Enough time to blot out traces of red hair and heaving silk and lipstick-bruised cigarettes.

Chapter 1 on AO3

The Queen's Gambit, by Walter Tevis

I finally finished reading The Queen's Gambit and I'm very impressed.

I picked up the book because I liked the show. It's realism and apart from the detailed descriptions of chess openings, the series more or less follows the book.

The one major difference is that, in the book, Beth decides to seek Jolene's help during her biggest downward spiral and not the other way around. Jolene helps Beth with her drinking problem through exercise. She's teaching physical education at the university and is in the process of applying for a job at a big law firm in Atlanta. She is someone who knows what she wants and works hard to get it. In the series, Jolene is engaged to a white lawyer man, but there's no such thing in the book.

Another difference is Beth's losing game to Borgov in Paris. Unlike the series, she's doesn't drink and wake up hungover the next day with a woman in her bed. She sleeps well and plays chess well. And despite doing everything right, she still loses the game. I personally quite like that. Sometimes your best is just not good enough.

Beth is afraid of Borgov in the book, right until the very end. In one of his very first appearances, he's compared to gorilla, which is very different from the handsome man he was in the series.

Beth's feelings towards Jolene (and other women) are also clearer in the book. Beth thinks Jolene is beautiful and wants to tell her she loves her. Beth has sex with men, but never describes it as good or fulfilling. Townes was Beth's love interest in the series, but there's nobody like that in the book. She doesn't long for a romantic relationship with anyone, chess is her one and only passion.

The overarching theme of the book is addiction, and I think its portrayed very well. Considering it was written in the 80s by a man, Beth's portrayal as a woman struggling with addiction and excelling in a man-dominated field is excellent.

Definitely worth a read!
