Abandoned and entrusted to a Kentucky orphanage in the late 1950s, a 9-yr old orphan who doesn’t communicate much starts playing chess with a janitor in the basement and finds herself enthralled with the game. She battles through a very early addiction to pills (at the orphanage), booze and the loss of her adoptive mother to become a world champion in the male-dominated world of chess.
(PG 13ish).
This series focuses a lot on Chess moves and plays in a fascinating and dramatic way.

Watched the whole story. It's really well done. Well cast, well written, well directed, well acted. Highly recommend it whether you play chess or not. It's not really a chess story. It's a story of a person rising above their limits

CPT Jack Durish Once leaving the orphanage, Beth Harmon was determined to succeed at chess, which she loved, but playing matches with cash prizes also helped her to take care of herself at a young age. The government wasn’t giving away a lot of free money back then.
