13th World Champion Garry Kasparov visited our US Chess Women club room to talk about his work consulting on the hit Netflix Series, "The Queen's Gambit." He explains how he selected games for critical scenes, and re-imagined them with the help of AI to match Beth Harmon's brilliant wits.
Director and co-creator Scott Frank also visited, and he talked about his inspiration for the project, how he got involved with Garry and his aesthetic concept for the series.
