trivia: Netflix's Queen's Gambit is loosely inspired by the life of American Chess Grandmaster Bobby Fischer.

in my opinion mas maganda yung true to life documentary na Bobby Fischer Against the World kaysa sa Queen's Gambit na series.

makikita mo talaga na noon sobrang big deal ng chess dahil na rin sa cold war.

I'm not good at chess pero ishare ko lng yung nakakatawang review sa larong to 5D Chess With Multiverse Time Travel

I was playing a game against a human opponent online, and at one point they sent a queen back in time from one of the ten timelines currently in play to put five of my past kings into check at once. I sent one of my own pieces even further back to stall, and they proceeded to send one of their queens back to the start of the game to try and beat me before I even got to that point. I was able to maneuver one of my bishops in the second-most divergent timeline into position to capture the queen in the alternate present once we got back to that point and save the game (I eventually won by checkmating their king 5 turns in the past)

This is an ACTUAL DESCRIPTION of an ACTUAL GAME, see: https://i.imgur.com/EgkiheE.png

If you have no idea what I just wrote, I hardly do either, this game makes my head hurt and yet eventually your mind's eye is opened to the cosmic structure of the universe -

or you just go insane
