      Then-world champion Garry Kasparov called Polgar a "circus puppet" and said women were better off having families than trying careers they couldn't psychologically handle like competitive chess (Kasparov ended up apologizing, and is one of the consultants on the show)

      Hell here's UK grandmaster Nigel Short saying the same thing in the distant era of 2015https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3046374/Women-aren-t-smart-play-chess-game-requires-logical-thinking-says-British-grandmaster.html …

      Re: the story making Beth an addict It's blatantly unrealistic, and because it's unrealistic I think it is worth analyzing to a degree why it's there and whether it's gendered That to make her genius interesting Beth has to be really clearly badly damaged in some way

      I mean it's certainly not that there haven't been plenty of chess greats who were all kinds of messed up in their personal lives But the drinking and pill popping absolutely doesn't make sense (it's like portraying an NBA champion who gets drunk and hung over before a game)

      It's worth asking why they picked that specific marker of being damaged and out-of-balance to be something we could find relatable I dunno, I'm not saying it's sexist, just spitballing

      i mean on the whole i liked the show but it's worth noting that it's a Choice to make beth's climactic bad decision be to sleep with a girl she likes

      what's interesting about THE QUEEN'S GAMBIT is that it starts with a decidedly critical look at the world beth was born into--rigid, stifling, choking on gender roles--but then as it gradually loses that underlying anger it becomes an increasingly shmaltzy morality play

      so that beth's decision to (finally!) explore the queer tendencies that have haunted her for her entire life is portrayed not as liberation, but as the ultimate representation of a life out of control

      and the great signifier of her being in a Good State is her having a support group of dudes she trounced who all totally accept her without any friction like i said, A Choice

      Yeah Apollo and Rocky didn't start getting along until Rocky has that big personal crisis and hits his lowest point and then they did that whole running through the beach thing C'mon you gotta earn these beats

      See I believed in Apollo and Rocky because the sexual tension *started out* all repressed and sublimated and then rose to the *surface* It's a lot more believable than doing it the opposite way, which is what usually happens when it's hetero

          as someone noted above, one dynamic that is dramatically absent from the show is "boy wants a girl who is just good enough at X to appreciate that he's better" and in particular the way boys like that flip the fuck out when it looks like they might be worse

          like it's sort of wild to me that the mediocre boy beth beats who wants to marry her is presented as the voice of reason and not the soul-destroying monster that he is what he wants is for beth to be fundamentally not herself,pic.twitter.com/E5gMIB5w0t
