I bought this novel in 2020 about an orphaned girl, Beth Harmon, who moves up and up in the world of chess competitions. It had caught my eye because of the hoopla about the series. But I ended up watching the series first (in 2023). It was really good. I could definitely see the hype about the series. Finally got around to reading this about 6 months after watching it. I honestly think I appreciated the book more than I would have if I had read it before watching. I would say that the series was mostly true to the novel, but I would have to watch it again to be sure. I seem to recall that the series added more about Beth's birth parents than was in the book, however. Bottom line: both are good!
Green pills and chess were Beth’s friends in the orphanage, and it was at this time that she fell in love with chess and became addicted to the pills. The girl who grew up kept competing, and she went through a lot during the long journey, but in the end she still won the former world championship. I like the author's lonely approach, the use of chess to highlight Beth’s loneliness, in my opinion, chess is not only her best partner as a child, but also to bring her to the larger world. Beth also said that she interpreted the changes in the game, in which the way of attack and defense is the most beautiful, “chess isn’t always competitive. Chess can also be beautiful.” And my favorite part is that when she was competing with the former world champion, in the end of the game, he took the initiative to give the king to her and admit defeat, both sides have a winning demeanour, a losing grace, winners and losers respect each other, and give each other the most sincere wishes. And Beth finally from a girl who was discriminated against in school because of her personality, to a world-famous talented chess player. Tiene la adaptaciónListas de sobresalientes

HTML: La serie de hoy. El libro del momento. El personaje de tu vida. El libro en el que se inspira la miniserie ms vista de la historia de Netflix, ganadora del EMMY 2021 y del Globo de Oro 2021 a la mejor miniserie. Walter Tevis ha recuperado el lugar que nunca debi perder [...] y ha provocado una inslita fiebre por el ajedrez. [...] Jaque mate. Un libro que releo cada pocos aos, por puro placer. Desde su primera publicacin en 1983, esta novela se convirti en un libro de culto para ajedrecistas en particular y amantes de la gran novela americana en general. Un secreto que de repente explot a finales de 2020 con el estreno de la serie basada en esta historia, conquistando en tiempo rcord al mundo entero. Beth Harmon,la protagonista, es ya un icono en la mente de los millones de fans de Gambito de dama: hurfana, solitaria, politoxicmana, competitiva, frgil, genial. Una Mozart del ajedrez cuya inteligencia le brinda tantos xitos como problemas. Esta novela, adictiva, trepidante, y con una tensin que no decae en cada partida, en cada viaje, en cada momento de abandono de la protagonista, que siempre oscila entre el xito y el abismo, se quedar en el corazn de los lectores. Y les servir adems como introduccin al mundo del ajedrez, que, como Beth Harmon, parece tranquilo y accesible, pero contiene debajo todo un volcn de pasiones y peligros. La crtica ha dicho... Un libro de culto para ajedrecistas. Una novela de aprendizaje y un smbolo de la vida [...] cercana al estilo de Hemingway. Beth Harmon es una criatura inolvidable, y Gambito de dama es la obra ms conseguida y desgarradora de Walter Tevis. Pocos novelistas han escrito sobre el genio y la adiccin con la agudeza de Walter Tevis. No la empieces si quieres dormir esta noche. Una lectura adictiva [...] A los clsicos La defensa, de Nabokov, y Novela de ajedrez, de Zweig, se une ahora Gambito de dama. Recomendamos ponerse esparadrapo en los dedos antes de abrir Gambito de dama: si no, el suspense puede hacer que uno se muerda las uas hasta el codo. Soberbia. Hipntica. Apasionante.
