Netflix Series 'The Queen's Gambit' Puts Spotlight on Real-life

Netflix chess drama "The Queen's Gambit," has been on the platform's top series list since its release. The series, which follows the story of Beth Harmon, a Kentucky orphan, and her rise as a chess prodigy in the 1950s and 1960s, shows how a woman can excel in the ruthlessly competitive, male-dominated world of chess, which also brought to light the lives of the famous Hungarian chess player sisters, the Polgár girls.
