What Beth did next...


I confess. I'm a huge fan of The Queen's Gambit on Netflix. I'm not a chess player but the chess is just the backdrop used to tell the story of the main character Beth Harmon so if you haven't already, I highly suggest you give the series a watch.


A bridesmaid at a wedding, someone I'd known for a long time but not seen for a few years, struck me as looking more than a little like Beth Harmon in the series and I mentioned we should do a cosplay shoot sometime on the character. Well that idea took root and grew into the idea of Beth's wedding day which I present below. Not a hint of chess to be found.
