The final question left is who's king will be left standing and whose heart will end up in pieces?

The story of a Russian girl named Valentina who at 9 was put in the Methuen home for girls, how she learned chess and grew up to reunite with an old friend and become brought back into the world of chess, meeting a overconfident blond who wears a cowboy hat

Her wanderlust was one that was fit to burst. Twenty-three and with a cross-country road trip already ticked off her bucket list, the young American was ready to backpack her way across Europe, Asia, and more. She was ready to experience it all; to see it all. Before it was too late; before life caught up with her. But would the snow-capped Alps, bustling cities, charming old towns, and postcard-worthy coastlines that met azure skies be the only things that take Lily-Ann Quinn's breath away? The only things that she would fall in love with? Apparently not. His club, though having won the Bundesliga, missed out on the chance of seizing the double when they lost the DFB Pokal final to a team that sat eighth in the league. His country, title holders notwithstanding, tripped spectacularly at the first hurdle of the World Cup-an uncanny curse that had plagued defending champions since the turn of the century. Freshly thrusted into singlehood no less, Joshua Kimmich became certain of nothing except the fact that he was about to have the worst summer of his life. Or was he? Apparently not.

"Do you love her?". "What?" said Benny rubbing his eyes tiredly. "Um". "Look, Benny," said Harry, "I don't know you very well. But you got me up here for her. You obviously care about her". Benny looked down at his white coffee mug. "Yeah, I do". "Then why don't you do something about it?" Harry questioned. "How do I know she feels the same way". "You don't," said harry. "You need to try to find out though". Benny looked at him. "Thanks... I'll think about it". "Yeah. you do that," Benny thinks about Beth only to get advice from an old friend of hers...

Florence loved easily: snow flurries and round glasses, red wine and green dresses. She loved friends, she loved strangers. Benny loved little: beer and chess and himself and not much else. In the end, Florence loved Benny, and Benny loved Florence, and for a moment, that was enough. benny watts x florence lawson (oc)

fanfiction idk i wanted more with queen's gambit so i wanted to make a story with the character in the same universe as beth harmon ykyk if u want an actual description here you go: Before Charlotte became Charlotte Halsey, she was Charlotte Sterling. The daughter of two grandmasters in the Chess world.

So, we didn't escape apparently. I still barely know what's going on, but I know more now: W.I.C.K.E.D. is a real pain in the ass, walking through sand dunes should be considered a sport, and searching for a mysterious rebel group is like searching for needle in a shuckin' haystack. Oh, and to top it all off, I am a Defect Subject. Makes sense, doesn't it? __________ All copyrights are reserved to the phenomenal author, James Dashner-the man who created the amazing trilogy of "The Maze Runner"-and to the director and makers of the movies. I only own Ame, her plot, her perspective, and a few other characters. Work in progress!

This is a slow burn romance between rival chess players. It is similar to the Queen's Gambit in the sense that although chess is a focal aspect of the story readers won't be required to know about chess in order to follow along with the story.

He played with her inner fire, trying his best to control himself. She meets him unable to calculate nor let go. It is the way he knows her. The way he loves her for exactly that.

First time writer:) If you like it at some point, please consider sharing it or telling your friends, it is free and it would help me out a lot! Enjoy.
