[quote=Anonymous]Queen's Gambit was a great premise but so much in the production didn't hang together. Just me personally, but I hate revisionist history. There were no female grandmasters in 1967. The first was in 1978. The men in Beth's life were so encouraging, which was not true for women trying to play chess in those days. The movie was filmed in Berlin and Montreal and the scenes in Russia looked totally fake, because they were. Beth didn't have anything near a Kentucky accent, which I'd think any decent actor would be able to pull off. I do have an interest in playing chess again, so there's that. [/quote]
