The Queen’s Twin

Her Majesty’s of China, 侯逸凡 (Hóu Yìfán), a four-time Woman’s World Chess Champion and a Rhodes Scholar, as well as the youngest Women’s World Chess Champion ever at 16 and the youngest University Professor ever at 26, is, mutatis mutandis, the one and only nemesis of Beth Harmon, the fictional anti-heroine of Netflix’s The Queen’s Gambit.
