    Summary

    He is a lanky man with slight muscle definition and facial hair that should make him look outdated, but there is something about his voice and passion that makes it impossible for her to look away.

    So, she doesn’t. Not even when his eyes lock onto hers. He gives her a cheeky wink that she should find antagonistic and a smirk that should have made her want to barf at his arrogance. But still, she doesn’t look away from Benny.

    Summary

    Summary

    In which Beth Harmon is born several years later than in canon, and a five-year-old orphan beating Harry Beltik gives the world of chess a new prodigy to obsess over. And, in Miss Deardorff's eye, who better to raise a prodigy than a former one?

    After making a bet with Beltik of all people, Benny's left with a challenge: turn Beth Harmon into the US World Champion within the next five years.

    But Benny's a gambler, and Beth's far too ambitious for her age.

    So, later on, they go higher - they go global.
