───YOU'D BE HARD PUSHED to find anyone in the chess world who'd not heard of esmeralda fisher.

as the daughter of one of the world's most renowned players, she'd been living and breathing chess since before she could utter a word.

not just this, but having written a handful of books on the game, the whole world seemed to be asking the very same question — if she was so knowledgable and impassioned about chess, why on earth had she never played?

well, benny watts had been asking himself this question since he'd picked up her very first book, too. but he was about to learn a whole lot more about her.

DISCLAIMERS !

i don't own any of the queen's gambit characters
or the main storyline — only those created and
written by myself. this will deviate from the story
at times, please don't comment on this as it's
always intentional (and sadly, i'm not a chess
master to know everything!)
