    • Trivia
      Unlike a majority of movies and television shows depicting chess boards, the chess boards are always set up correctly in this series and the chess games and positions are realistic. National Master Bruce Pandolfini and Grandmaster Garry Kasparov acted as consultants for this series.
    • Goofs
      Beth is sent to Bradley's by Alma with a note to get 3 packs of Chesterfields. The clerk hands her just one pack, which is seen again when she looks at the chess magazine and again when she walks out of Bradley's. Yet when she arrives home, she places 3 packs down on the kitchen counter.
    • Quotes

      Harry Beltik: Anger's a potent spice. A pinch wakes you up. Too much dulls your senses.

    Guarnteed to be an award winning show!
    This TV Mini-series is excellent! It is wonderful to see Anya Taylor-Joy in a well crafted show. She shines brilliantly as Beth Harmon a chess playing prodigy. The story takes us from when she is a small girl, orphaned, continuing through her teenage angst years. I highly recommend this show. Great cinematography and directing and of course to get back to the acting - its top notch! I only wish there was more than 7 episodes.
