A wonderful story about a young woman who has to grow up as an orphan in rather sad circumstances, but is blessed with an exceptional talent who seems to open the door to the world for her. The most difficult thing on their way is not always the respective opponent on the chessboard, but rather their fight against their inner demons and their childhood trauma, which they have never overcome.

To take up such a dry topic as "chess" and turn it into an exciting film adaptation or series, which was masterfully implemented here.

However, there are a few mistakes and inconsistencies that I noticed while watching the series. For example, the jump from childhood to teenage years. All of a sudden, Beth is said to be eleven years old, but she is obviously not. Because Anya Taylor-Joy definitely doesn't look like an eleven-year-old.
