Look out someone else’s window
Take a look at a new scene. I was told about this by The Wife, who found it, and the first window she saw looked out on Pacific Grove right down the street from where we lived in Pacific Grove — instantly recognizable. About a four-minute walk from our place.

If you liked “The Queen’s Gambit,” then watch “Searching for Bobby Fischer”
The movie (from 1993) is on Netflix and is based on the true story of Joshua Waitzkin. It’s a feel-good movie with an amazing cast: Joe Mantegna, Joan Allen, Ben Kingsley, Laurence Fishburne, David Paymer, William H. Macy, Dan Hedaya, Laura Linney, Tony Shalhoub. No drug use in this one.
It’s listed now with the title “Innocent Moves,” but you can search for it under that title or the original and find it. (Netflix no longer enables direct links to titles.)
