  • Beth Harmon: They're just pieces. And anyway it was the board I noticed first.
  • Miss Jean Blake: The board?
  • Beth Harmon: Yes. It's an entire world of just 64 squares. I feel safe in it. I can control it, I can dominate it. And it's predictable. So if I get hurt, I only have myself to blame.
