Doesn't make them any smarter.

You just let them blow by...

and you go on ahead and do just whatever you feel like.

Someday, you're going to be all alone,

so you need to figure out how to take care of yourself.

Tell the readers of Life how it feels.

I mean, to be a girl...

among all those men.

I don't mind it.

Chess isn't always competitive.

Chess can also be...

beautiful.

You're an orphan, Beth.

I'm fine being alone.

I feel safe in an entire world of just 64 squares.

Creativity and psychosis often go hand-in-hand.

Or for that matter...

genius and madness.

There's no player in the world as gifted as you are.

There is one player that scares me.

Who?

The Russian.

He is a world champion.

I'm supposed to go to Russia, but what I want...

is a drink.

I'm worried about you.

What?

What on Earth for?

Maybe it's in my blood.

My mother went crazy.

Went crazy, or always was?

I don't even know if I'm good enough.

You're the best there is.

You got your gift.

And you've got what it costs.

Hard to say for you what that will be.
