The Queen’s Gambit Meet Lady In Ermine

With the success of The Queen’s Gambit, Sofonisba’s Chess Game is relevant again. Sofonisba wove a narrative of her own Queen’s Gambit right into the game played in her 1555 masterpiece. It’s dramatized in Lady in Ermine, Chapter Four, “The Chess Game.”

I think Sofi would enjoy this series and it’s focus on women and chess. http://sofonisba.net
