So Queen's Gambit is basically Bobby Fischer in Drag?

so they wrote about a real life guy but made him a chick
what the fuck

I still can't believe that a fanfic about a lesbo master chess player is considered as feminist media. The sheer fact you had to invent a woman in position already makes it a proof they can't play at any expert level.

this is some real schizo shit
like applying headcanon to real life

i mean it was a book first though i havent read it. the miniseries was good tho. a better idea than trying to make it a film and either spreading that out or trying to condense it for a 2 hour runtime

the complete irony is the fake women even in the context of her own universe isnt even a pioneer. the book and show literally erase the fact that back in the 80s a woman played against men and won... but guess what? she was russian, so ofc. the american media didnt want to draw attention to that
