She’s never viewed the Hunger Games arena as a death trap for children. To her, the arena is art. Every competent Gamemaker sees it the same way, but not every Gamemaker’s designs can be as elegant and inspired as hers.

-

Beth Harmon as Head Gamemaker. Benny Watts as tribute. Two souls carve a space for each other in the face of disgrace and death.

Assumed familiarity with Queen’s Gambit characters and basic knowledge of the structure of the Hunger Games setting

He’s not there to greet her when she arrives, but from his dormitory window he can see her pull up in her taxi, a solitary figure with a swaying strut in kitten heels, head fixed forward like the bow of a ship, maroon coat fluttering like a battle flag. If she doesn’t notice the students on their bikes or at a picnic, they won’t notice her, but he’s drawn to her like a lodestone.

The Boy-With-Really-Fine-Hair takes the seat next to her, where he deliberately keeps his eyes off any one person, trained instead on the chessboard, as if he can’t help himself. He enunciates carefully at his friend’s back, “Go to hell.”

“Or not,” mutters Hilton, sauntering away with a cheerful spring in his step.

Beth Harmon and Benny Watts have an instant connection over chess, along with spades of hatred and attraction. It's all very confusing.
