In some, the focus stays on the competitor\u2019s faces, or on the time elapsing on the clock. In others, the focus is on the movement on the pieces over the board. In one tournament in Paris, when Beth is hungover, the pieces slide around in what she dubbed a \u2018Gumby\u2019 effect. In a competition in Ohio, Beth and a rival rise through the ranks in split screens, an effect Tesoro borrowed from the 1971 film Le Mans (\u2018and then when I watched JoJo Rabbit, I was like, goddammit, they used the same thing\u2019).\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">READ MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vulture.com\/article\/queens-gambit-chess-matches-making-of-accuracy.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How The Queen\u2019s Gambit Made Its Chess Scenes Believable and Exciting (<em>Vulture<\/em>)<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"720\" width=\"1080\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"18732\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jwolfepr.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Queens-Gambit-09-1.jpg?resize=1080%2C720&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18732\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"720\" width=\"1080\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"18739\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jwolfepr.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Queens-Gambit-01-1.jpg?resize=1080%2C720&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18739\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"720\" width=\"1080\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"18740\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jwolfepr.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Queens-Gambit-03-1.jpg?resize=1080%2C720&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18740\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"720\" width=\"1082\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"18744\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jwolfepr.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Queens-Gambit-05-1.jpg?resize=1082%2C720&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18744\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"720\" width=\"1080\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"18746\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jwolfepr.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Queens-Gambit-07-1.jpg?resize=1080%2C720&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18746\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"18747\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jwolfepr.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Queens-Gambit-11-1.jpg?ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18747\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"720\" width=\"1080\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"18749\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jwolfepr.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Queens-Gambit-01-2.jpg?resize=1080%2C720&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18749\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of Tesoro\u2019s biggest challenges editing <em>The Queen\u2019s Gambit<\/em> was setting a pace for the multitude of chess games featured in each episode in a way that would help support the storyline. \u201cAt the heart of <em>The Queen\u2019s Gambit<\/em>, Beth\u2019s growing chess fortunes are twinned with her coming of age.
