The Queen's Gambit

Its a series on NetFlix about a young girl who becomes a chess prodigy. I figured I'd give it a try and it is pretty interesting. I know how chess pieces move and that is about it. I never knew that there were "strategies" in chess. It is actually quite interesting. According to reviews, chess players said that the game play is fairly accurate and when the series originally aired in 2020, it increased interest in chess.

Of course there are strategies, but what do you mean? I guess any sufficiently complicated calculation can be called a strategy.

Strategies in terms of specific move sequences with names to define them.

Ah gotcha. All openings have names and so do their variations. Helps one keep track of them.
