The imperceptible ways of thinking

When we look out of the window, what do we see? When we are about to get the best moment of our life, which are the words that our brain start to draw?

Our surrounding will have a manifest on us. Our past, our history, our DNA (and everything that happens that can change it).

There are several questions about what motivates this serie to become so fascinating so fast, but to me the reason is very simple: the eager to win what we believe we could win at first. The eager to do what we do so naturally that thinking becomes a way of breathing. 

In general, people are motivated by easy and fast results and honestly I believe that the increase of demand of chessboard, chess books and applications in chess clubs is exactly because of these reasons. Sooner a huge percentage will drop-off this idea.

During this story, it is also notable the hard work of the main character by studying continuously, by exploring different perspectives for different game fronts to her final goal: the winning. All of this despite her natural and special skills.

The Queen's Gambit exhibit by Netflix takes us to an extraordinary world of wins.

To me, it gave me far more than that. I was living in that season and feeling every silent pause of Harmon before her next move. I was there, with her, although I know nothing about chess.

It is also strongly shown her natural potential to think differently, in ways other people don't. All the scenarios were also perfectly chosen, the colours, the objects, the lights. And this rises the question: what is not so clearly seen on the story?

 

The (probable) undiagnosed autism spectrum disorder of the main character. And that, that is the basis of everything. Either because explains her reactions to any and every situation she lives during her story, either because it shows that there are no limitations to success.

A winner mindset will always depend on you, no matter the circumstances. You will fall, you will fight, but you also sense the flavour of victory. And knowing you are the best in what you do, well, that must be speechless.

And this is what moves us: the continuously possibility of being more, learning more. This is a brilliant show that should be seen a second time, through a different window and eyes.

And you, what does move you?
