The wonderful screenplay of an orphan girl, who won against all the odds of life via her only obsession, Chess. Being a prodigy at the game since early childhood, Beth is an inspiration who really disliked the title of "Woman Chess Champion" but rather won the World Championship.

Talking about the series binge-watching, there are many incidences which touch upon things other than Beth's game, especially her friendship with Joalene and her attachment with her mother.
