I'm going to watch it next weekend. I started watching it this weekend but saw the last season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
RZA is ranked 2000
He's good enough to be a CM. I'm surprised, he hasn't tried to get an official title.

Walter Tevis, the author of the book upon which the Netflix hit is based, spent his life gambling and drinking in pool halls before turning to chess. But once you know his story, it’s stunning that the book ever came out at all.

I enjoyed watching the Queen's Gambit.....
Coworker enjoyed it too. Noted he binged it in 2 days this week.
I took a few breaks cuz I was into it. I'm near the end of the last episode now.....lol
Nice - I've been doing that lately. Saved a bunch of stuff on flashdrives, so just "resume" it later on when I can't watch something in full.
Our current rotation = Fargo, Peaky Blinders, and Goliath.
I binge all 7 episodes but waited til the evening to see it...I wish there were more chess related tv series/movies....
Agreed - especially when shows are well-done re: specific content.
Been hearing and reading the reviews.
Plan on checking out Queen's Gambit in the near future.
There's a movie named "Pawn Sacrifice" which based of Bobby Fischer and his life...It goes into his rise into the chess world,particularly, his game 6 match against Anatoly Karpov....
Movie was good too.
I knew about that particular match before watching the movie since I'm a chess head....It was Boris Spassky not Karpov...went a little brain dead...lol
Another chess movie is "Searching for Bobby Fischer"...I need to see that movie
Agreed. I think I will go back and re-watch Searching ... saw it back in the day but I was only a teen and probably didn't appreciate it enough ...

Thanks.
