Nyet! Netflix Loses Move To Get ‘Queen’s Gambit’ Suit Tossed

A throwaway line to some, but one that’s distinctly not true.
“The allegation that Gaprindashvili ‘has never faced men’ is manifestly false, as well as being grossly sexist and belittling,” the chess legend’s defamation complaint from September 2021 exclaimed.
“By 1968, the year in which this episode is set,
