In the series, the athlete was called Russian and stated that she did not play with men.
The series with Anya Taylor-Joy was released a year and a half ago, but the management of Netflix «Queen's Move» or «Queen's Gambit» is still hiccuping. Moreover, not for a good reason. Californian judges denied an online cinema to reject the claim of an athlete who was outraged by the last episode of the hit series starring Taylor-Joy.
Recall that in the finale of the Queen's Move, the Soviet announcer called Nona a Russian chess player, and also insisted that Gaprindashvili never opposed male chess players. The Georgian, meanwhile, played with men 59 times, and did not consider herself Russian at all.
According to Deadline, after the lost court hearing, proceedings around slander and sexism from the Queen's Move showrunners against Gaprindashvili continues, and she stands a good chance of getting $5 million in compensation.
