▍原文
Georgian chess icon Nona Gaprindashvili has filed a defamation lawsuit against Netflix, saying she was incorrectly portrayed in the hit series The Queen's Gambit.
The case refers to a sequence in the drama's final episode which says Gaprindashvili, now 80, had never played competitive chess with men.
The 25-page case said: "The allegation that Gaprindashvili 'has never faced men' is manifestly false, as well as being grossly sexist and belittling."
