Listen to The Queen’s Gambit and What It Means to Be a Prodigy from Low Key. The Queen’s Gambit stars Anya Taylor-Joy as Beth Harmon, an orphan who becomes a 1960s chess prodigy — and addict. In this episode we talk about whether child prodigies are real or an exaggerated phenomenon, nature v. nurture, and the Netflix series’ approach to gender and race. Also we try to imagine a world without Street Fighter.
