A lawsuit pursues "Netflix" .. The reason is to mislead the "Queen's gambit"

 Lawsuit pursues "Netflix" .. and the reason for misleading "Queen's Gamblit" 



A Soviet chess legend filed a defamation lawsuit worth 5 million dollars against "Netflix" over an episode of the series "The Queen's Gamblit", which contained false information.

Eighty-year-old Georgian Nonna Gabrindashvili, the eighty-year-old Georgian chess legend and the first woman to win the title of "Grandmaster", claimed that the Netflix series indicated in an episode of the "Queen's Gambit" that she had never faced men in any matches.

Nouna said in her lawsuit that the way she was portrayed in an episode of the series was biased against women, did not show her truth, and underestimated her abilities.

The subject of Nonna's lawsuit is related to the last episode of the series, in which the heroine, played by actress Anya Taylor, plays a match against a Russian chess player in Moscow.

In the episode, the commentator on the match says, "The only unusual thing is that Beth Harmon is a female. Even world champion Nonna Gabrindashvili has never competed with a man in chess."

According to the British newspaper, “Daily Mail”, Nouna stated in her lawsuit that “until 1969, she competed against 59 men throughout her chess career, and managed to beat 28 of them at the same time in one match.” 

Nonna also considered that what "Netflix" had done was to add excitement to the series, by making her fictional character, able to achieve what no woman had succeeded in before.

Netflix responded to Nona's lawsuit with a statement saying: "Ms. Nonna Gabrindashvili's claim is not true, and the network values her distinguished career, but will vigorously defend against the lawsuit."

It is worth noting that Nonna started playing chess at the age of thirteen, like the character Beth Harmon in the series, and at the age of twenty, she became the world champion.

Nouna, who still plays chess, has won 25 medals, and has previously won many international tournaments held around the world.

What Horror’s Scariest Stars Look Like In Real Life.

Image
            When you appear as a scary looking villain in a horror flick, your true appearance is often masked by special effects, makeup, and, you guessed it, a hockey mask. But in real life, these supernatural creatures are no different than the rest of us. Most of you would probably walk by them on the street without realizing the roles they played. This is actually quite an advantage for them, as it gives these actors the chance to avoid being typecast in Hollywood, but it's bad for us, because when we come face to face with them, we won't know whether we should be afraid of them or not.  Samara caused havoc and brought terror to audiences in "The Ring" in 2002. In the film, anyone who watched a videotape of Samara would get a call informing them that they had 7 days to live. Then they'd get a visit from Samara herself as she crawled out of the well and into your living room, and killed you.
