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 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!

Well, I was tagged by @tarttism to post 250 words of a wip and even if I intend to post the full story on AO3 in the somewhat near future, here’s the first 290 words, because I didn’t want to break up a paragraph. - Vasily Borisovich Borgov has something of a complicated view on fatherhood. Or rather, a complicated role as a father. Not that things did not start out simple enough, with his marriage to a woman he respects and likes well enough and then the birth of Mikhail a few years later. Due to her role as his interpreter, he has even been uniquely blessed with the fact that his family has been allowed to go with him to most of his tournaments outside the USSR, once his son was old enough to travel, of course. The two KGB agents they had to have on their tail at all times is a small price to pay for such a privilege. And for many years that had been more than enough and all there was to it. He could focus on his chess career, become World Champion, be a good husband, love his son and make sure to be the father Mikhail deserves.

Today, however, he is about to come face to face with the complicated side for the first time. It is the 1980 Chess Olympiad, held in Malta, and specifically in the capital, Valletta. A very warm and sunny place - at least by comparison - this late in the year, which does a little to alleviate his anxiety and relax him. He has taken to walking by the seaside as much as possible when not busy playing or practicing, and the hat he wears is as much for providing some protection from the insistent glare of the sun as it is to keep him warm. But as much as he can agree it is a beautiful place, he pays it little attention, his mind occupied elsewhere most of the time.
