Check it out. I saw someone say it's a live-action sports anime and while I would never watch an anime I assume that's an accurate description. You'd be shocked how exciting they can make chess look in this show.

    I thought her popularity in the USSR was supposed to indicate a couple of things:

    1. The USSR was much more progressive in its attitudes towards women.

    2. The USSR was much more appreciative of intellectual achievement.

    3. The USSR had a better culture of sportsmanship.

    It was in a way almost comically pro-USSR in the last episode, which I loved.
