    In this video, I play against the (A.I.) 17-year-old Beth Harmon with an ELO level of 2400, from the popular Netflix Series #QueensGambit. I was thrilled to unleash the Queen's Gambit with the white pieces and Beth replied with a semislav variation. The middlegame featured a highly strategic battle, where one positional mistake led to the eventual outcome much later on in the endgame.

      Well the queen’s gambit declined is actually pawn to E6, what she played was the Slav defense. But she didn’t accept it so I guess it can be called a decline too lol

    I like how more and more chess personalities are playing against engines. Yes, we already know that the best engines are better than the best humans, but it's interesting to see how far the humans can go up the ladder before it becomes to difficult. And props to the programmers of these new bots, a lot of them play pretty indistinguishable from human play.
