“The WOMAN who BEAT 59 men and sued Netflix for \$5 MILLION” ♟️🔥Meet Nona Gaprindashvili—the real-life chess queen Netflix tried to erase. While The Queen’s Gambit celebrated “Beth Harmon,” they conveniently “forgot” that Nona:* 1962: Became the first woman ever to earn the title of International Grandmaster* Defeated 59 male opponents in simultaneous exhibitions—28 of them fellow Grandmasters* Won five consecutive Women’s World Championships (a record that still stands)* Refused to compete for the overall World Championship when Soviet officials banned her from bringing along her young son* At 79 years old, claimed gold at the Senior Team World Championship, proving age is just a numberIn 2022, at age 80, she sued Netflix for \$5 million** for the on-screen claim that she “never faced men”—and won. Netflix publicly apologized and settled, but how many people even heard this story?For decades, chess’s power brokers downplayed her achievements. Nona’s revenge? A legacy so powerful it outshines fiction.Next time you watch The Queen’s Gambit, remember: the real Beth Harmon walked the board decades ago—and her true story is 100 times more incredible.Biographyhttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nona_Gaprindashvili
