Don’t you like chess ? Go and watch this miniseries of seven episodes. It just makes you want to be a chess champion. And I am not the only one. It seems that all the chessboards available have been bought these last months. The series has chess but also other elements that make it attractive. A chess champion? Yes, but a woman. A beautiful woman? Yes, but fighting with alcohol, drugs, and traumatic memories. The atmosphere is cotton woolly, and the film’s colours are amazing, all in soft grading of browns and greens. No chessboards left\u2026I will stick to backgammon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Chess isn’t always competitive. Chess can also be beautiful. It was the board I noticed first. It’s an entire world of just 64 squares. I feel safe in it. I can control it. I can dominate it. And it’s predictable, so if I get hurt, I only have myself to blame.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Seven episodes of approximately 1 hour each<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Episode 1.
