Nona Gaprindashvili isn’t just a chess legend. She made history as the first woman to be named a Grandmaster and dominated male players at a time when women were expected to stay on the sidelines.
Then Netflix came along with The Queen’s Gambit and falsely claimed she "never faced men"—completely erasing her achievements. So she sued them for $5 million for defamation.
