I am reading the Richard Jackson Saga again. In book 10, he is at Oxford where he sees a young redheaded girl playing 10 games of chess and winning. Says she has a Kentucky accent.
Just wondering if this is one of his many easter eggs that I am missing/not getting? It is tossed in the story like many of the eggs.
That sounds like it. I think I get more than 60% of his eggs/clues, but this one stood out that I had no idea.
The Queen's Gambit?
In Walter Tevis's original 1983 novel, Beth actually had brown hair. The decision to make her a redhead was a creative choice mutually agreed upon by the show's hair/makeup designer Daniel Parker, director Scott Frank, and Anya Taylor-Joy herself to better reflect her "feisty" personality. -- wikipedia
