The Queen`s Gambit

[James Plaskett]

My wife said that when she saw the ratio of men to women in the chess world it made her wish she had played chess in her youth.
"All these blokes!"
The Queen`s Gambit affected that.
I have never seen this Netflix thingie The Queen`s Gambit. Just a few snippets.
However, just now I logged on to Twitter and found this on the page for The Queen´s Gambit handle -

It had only been uploaded the day before - September 13 2026.
And it`s not anything at all by way of a difficult problem. Nor even a serious one!
The position stems from a book which a guy approached me with last year at a tournament in IBI and asked me to sign for his son.
It`s by John C. Murray, translated into Spanish, and is entitled
Estrategia De Ajedrez Britanica
Juego como el campeoon ajedrez James Plaskett
It`s got a pic of me from 1983 on the cover.

And the combo (well, just the check, really!) is from my game at an event in Lorca of December 29th 2017.
