The Queen's Gambit - Chess problem scene

Beth Harmon, this is Hilton Wexler
and Grandmaster Arthur Levertov.

The new champ.

Hi.

Congratulations.
Benny needed a lesson in humility.

I'm already tops in humility.

Hello, Beth.

Uh… oh…

I'm Cleo.

Hi.

Do you do problems?

- No.
- Never?

I always found them irrelevant.

Positions that never come up
in actual games.

Let me show you one you might like.

Okay.

- Can I mess this up?
- Go ahead.

Hilton, she is not
one of your problem freaks.

- She's the US Champion, for Christ's sake.
- It's okay.

This one is…

…my favorite.

How does White win in three?

Benny, under what mound
do you hide your drinking glasses?

Hey, quit distracting her.

She's not.

King to queen seven.

Jesus! That's fast.

Drink?

No, thank you.

I should fix the food.

Come on, that's enough of that.
