Beth travels to New York with Benny, where he trains her for the Paris Invitational. He invites two strong players, Hilton Wexler and Arthur Levertov to assist, along with a mutual friend, a French model named Cleo, who quickly befriends Beth.
Beth repeatedly beats Benny, Wexler, and Levertov at simultaneous speed chess, winning back more than Benny took from her in Ohio. Beth and Benny sleep together, but Benny ruins the mood by talking chess strategy for Paris afterwards.
At the Paris Invitational, Beth advances to the finals against Borgov. Cleo, who is also in Paris, invites Beth out for drinks. Beth hesitantly joins Cleo at the bar, resulting in a late-night bender. Hungover, Beth oversleeps for the final and is unable to focus, losing once more to Borgov.
Devastated, Beth declines Benny’s offer to continue staying with him in New York to prepare for the Moscow Invitational. Instead she returns to Kentucky.
Upon her returning home, she is contacted by her lawyer stating her estranged adoptive father, Allston Wheatley, now has issues with her living in his house. He demands she vacate, insisting he did not give her house, despite her protestations.
Beth buys the house from him, agreeing to pay the equity of $7,000 but subtracting the burial arrangement cost for her adoptive mother, Alma Wheatley. Alone, she removes all his belongings from the house and redecorates the house. Soon after, she plunges into a days-long drug and alcohol binge, ignoring phone calls and the outside world.
Reluctantly honoring her commitment to visit the Kentucky State Championship, she blows off her first-ever tournament opponent Annette, before Harry confronts her about her alcoholism. The next day, Beth finds her old friend Jolene at her front door.

The Queen’s Gambit follows the life of an orphan chess prodigy, Elizabeth Harmon, during her quest to become an elite chess player while struggling with emotional problems, drugs and alcohol dependency. The title of the series refers to a chess opening of the same name. The story begins in the mid-1950s and proceeds into the 1960s.
The story begins in Lexington, Kentucky, where an eight-year-old Beth, having lost her mother in a car crash, is taken to an orphanage where she is taught chess by the building’s custodian, Mr. Shaibel. As was common during the 1950s, the orphanage dispenses daily tranquilizer pills to the girls to “balance their disposition”, which turns into an addiction for Beth. She quickly becomes a strong chess player due to her visualization skills.
A few years later, Beth is adopted by Alma Wheatley and her husband from Lexington. As she adjusts to her new home, Beth enters a chess tournament and wins despite having no prior experience in competitive chess. Alma is initially resistant to Beth’s interest in chess, but after Beth wins her first tournament, Alma is fully supportive of her adoptive daughter’s sojourns to enter various chess competitions.
She develops friendships with several people, including former Kentucky State Champion Harry Beltik, United States National Champion Benny Watts, and journalist and fellow player D.L. Townes. As Beth rises to the top of the chess world and reaps the financial benefits of her success, her drug and alcohol dependency becomes worse.
