"Adjournment" is the sixth episode of The Queen's Gambit. Along with the rest of the series, it was released on Netflix on October 23, 2020.
After training with Benny in New York, Beth heads to Paris for her rematch with Borgov. But a wild night sends her into a self-destructive spiral.
After another memory of Alice Harmon giving Beth Harmon advice, Beth and Benny play chess in their heads and practice Russian together while driving to Benny's home in New York. On arrival, Beth incorrectly guesses where his apartment is located, until she finds herself underground in what amounts to a large concrete box containing a single bedroom and half bathroom, the shower and kitchen out in the open and limited furniture. With the absence of a couch, she has to sleep on an inflatable mattress while Benny takes the only bedroom.
Benny wastes no time and jumps straight into chess training, studying books and playing matches. At one point, he invites over several masters and Cleo. Cleo introduces herself to Beth while Beth cooks for the men, mentioning that she met Hilton Wexler and Grandmaster Arthur Levertov when they stopped her from killing herself. She tells Beth a bit about her life story, and her profession as a model, before Beth goes to play Benny, Levertov, and Wexler in a 1 v 3 simultaneous in speed chess. She defeats them all, and then beats Benny numerous times, winning $10 bets each time. At length, Benny concedes and everyone leaves his apartment. Beth and Benny have sex afterward, although Benny ruins the moment by talking about chess. Beth becomes annoyed at this, and turns over angrily in bed, leaving Benny questioning what he did wrong.
