I like movies like this where it doesn't really matter if the lead is male or female, and this was almost that, it could easily have had been a male character learning chess and working their way up. It was so close...

However like all movies and miniseries these days that could not be the case, it's again a case of the time travelling women, projecting modern day attitudes into historical figures. They even altered the story from the book to fit in with the agenda.

I look forward to the day when the world again becomes balanced and people are equal.
