I saw it and it had a generally positive message about women in chess (the main character is brilliant, driven and flawed in all kinds of complex ways) but the throwaway line where a character incorrectly states that Gaprindashvili had “never faced men” was a real head-scratcher to say the least.
It would be like making a movie about a fictional Black baseball star in the early 1950s and then having some passing line where a commentator says “oh look, it’s Jackie Robinson! He’s the most celebrated player in the Negro Leagues but he’s never played against a white man…”
