The guy who wrote the book also wrote The Hustler. The Colour of Money, and The Man Who Fell to Earth. He was an alcoholic and written in the same year we got to the cup final. In the series did they use Staunton [pieces all the way through? Got an idea that they didn't in the final game?

Have to agree with you on that.
Thought Money Heist, and Prison Break were much better.

See the match?
I've re-watched it a number of times and, whilst everyone is going on and on about Anya Taylor-Joy (yeah she's great), I like episode 1 the most with little Beth Harmon (played by Isla Johnston) and Mr Shaibel (Bill Camp).
Both excellent actors in their own right. They absolutely nailed it. I do hope they get the recognition they deserve.

Chess, singing, dancing, playing it straight, comedy, is there anything Emma Stone can’t do?
