More experienced chess aficionados can enjoy The Queens Gambit at a grandmaster’s level when playing against opponents who know how to apply many advanced tactical principles. Utilizing sophisticated endgame theory and strategic principles such as prophylaxis or zugzwang will give skilled players an advantage over unaware opponents who do not know how to recognize these concepts or use them beneficially when they arise during play. Ultimately, this means that no matter your experience or skill set, The Queens Gambit has something for everyone and affords every player an enjoyable gaming experience tailored precisely to their individual abilities. Multiple Variations of the Game’s Rules with Advanced Strategies First, the bad news. Star Wars: The Queen’s Gambit is out of print. It was produced at the height of the movie mania in 2000. Being out of print, it’s really hard to find a copy. You can buy one second hand, but you better be prepared to spend a pretty penny. With that out of the way though, let’s get on to the good stuff. If there is one criticism of The Queen’s Gambit is that the game play isn’t very deep. It’s essentially a dice fest. You will do a LOT of rolling in this game. You aren’t going to find deep, strategic game play here, but it’s also not as simple as something like Risk. The game is filled with some tough decisions each turn (more on that later).

Beth gains even more recognition after having an outstanding performance in a Cincinnati tournament. Many tournaments and media appearances later, Beth starts aiming at the U.S. Open. This is any area where The Queen’s Gambit really shines as a lot of great components comes with this game. First, you get over 150 miniatures to play with. Unfortunately they are made of a soft, colored plastic, so they aren’t as detailed or high quality as your are probably used to today. But for being produced over a decade ago, I think they still work really well. You have a lot of droids (both battle and destroyer), Gungans, palace guards (along with a few heroes), a trio of Jedi/Sith and a few other miscellaneous figures to work with (Battle Tanks and Fambas to say the least). When the game is fully setup, it’s pretty awe inspiring. The game comes with a 3D, 3 level palace where the main action in the game takes place. In this board game depiction of the climactic, multi-layered battle to decide the fate of Naboo, we are once again given the same situation. The system is fluid though not deep. There is the same tendency that other Star Wars games at that time suffered; a fear of complexity. She has covered numerous royal events including weddings, births and funerals, and reported live from the King's Coronation for Newsweek.

You should note that masters don't typically go for this line since it's too risky. With accurate play, White should have no problem building a considerable advantage. Still, the Albin Countergambit is one of the best-scoring lines among non-professional players. And that’s all there is to it. The Naboo player wins when they shut down the droid control ship and have a majority in the palace throne room. The Trade Federation player wins when he destroys all but 2 of the Naboo palace figures. The Plains of Naboo turn into a huge bloodbath during the game. A victory in this theater isn’t needed to win, but it will certainly help a lot. Game Experience: Final Score: 4 Stars – A ton of fun with a great Star Wars theme. What’s not to like? Highly recommended. Rebecca was selected to be one of Newsweek's Cultural Ambassadors. She is a graduate of Brighton University and lives in London. The Queen’s Gambit puts the players on opposing sides of the climax of The Phantom Menace. The players of the Trade Federation will battle the Naboo players for control of the palace throne room. Does The Queen’s Gambit have what it takes to be a hit at your gaming table? Or does it deserve to be banished to a galaxy far, far away. Read on to find out!

In The Queen's Gambit: Das Damengambit, you can try to outwit your fellow players by playing with as much foresight as she did. Each of the 2-4 players has their own gambit piece that moves across the chessboard, and your turns are always planned three moves in advance by laying down cards upon which chess pieces are depicted. On your turn, you reveal your first card; move the gambit piece according to what's depicted on that card, ideally capturing chess tiles in the process; then refill your row by placing a third card in your personal queue. In The Queen’s Gambit, one player takes on the role of the Naboo/Gungan, trying to capture the two viceroys of the Trade Federation player. The game has 4 different theaters of battle, and players must choose wisely where they will direct their forces each turn. Neglect one area too long and a player may soon regret it. But more on that later. Test your skills and outwit your opponents with as much foresight as Beth Harmon on the hit Netflix show The Queen’s Gambit.

WHAT'S HAPPENING

Scott Frank, Allan Scott, and William Horberg developed The Queen’s Gambit from the absorbing 1983 novel of the same name by Walter Tevis (The Hustler and The Color of Money). But surprisingly, the seven-episode miniseries isn’t dialogue-heavy; mostly because Beth is so taciturn. Alluringly directed by Frank, who also wrote the series, Netflix’s The Queen’s Gambit finds its closest comparisons in Queen of Katwe and Pawn Sacrifice by centering its narrative on a woman prodigy who fights through the weight of genius.
