The life of this orphan chess genius is not always easy to watch. Like many of us, she finds different ways to medicate her pain. But also like all of us, if we are willing to accept the helping hands available, all have plenty of opportunities to transcend our pain. Masterful storytelling, cinematography, and the use of color, music, and setting to tell a great story. You will never find chess so interesting or be as captivated by the story of a flawed heroine as you will find this incredible series. Redemption all over that will leave you cheering with a lump in your throat by the end.
