In a field dominated by men, thick glasses and ill-fitting white button-down shirts, The Queen's Gambit's Beth Harmon is a sudden style idol

The fictional chess star overcame her childhood as an orphan, she battled her addiction to pills and alcohol, and she managed to make it into the world championship in Russia. The problem now? She had spent all her money on clothing and couldn’t afford her $3000 trip to the biggest game of all time.Beth laughs and declines both offers.NetflixIn a field dominated by men, thick glasses and ill-fitting white button-down shirts, Beth Harmon is a sudden style idol.

Instead, for example, Beth tiptoed into the chess world with a simple checkered sleeveless dress over a fitted white button down that doesn’t veer far from the style at the time. She was trying desperately to find her own way in the fashion and chess scene – and her outfit reflects this, Binder said. By the time the series finishes, Beth steps out in a white wool coat paired with a white hat totally on point for a chess queen.

While this may not be the first time chess has entered the fashion scene, this may be the largest move it has made.

Why have segregated competitions by gender? Are women at a disadvantage in chess in the same way as in weightlifting? And if you say that’s necessary, what about competitions for all the other 69 genders? Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see any of those attributes in chess... It's just boring. Best thought game on the planet.😄

Man dies after being assaulted at Perth's Queens Park train stationPolice are investigating the death of a man after he was assaulted at Queens Park train station in Perth's south-east, with another man aged in his 50s 'assisting detectives'. Is this in the Aboriginal community? Or in the often not mentioned ethnic European community of Aussies like the Anglo ScoMos? Good I used to live there in 2013-2014, Queens Park was real ghetto. Moved to QLD in 2015, but pretty now it is even worse.
