Loved the series, not so sure I want a musical of it. But that’s a long way off from now.

This is going to be tough on the creative team...fans of this material have just seen the story told in 7 hours on Netflix. How do you have the same impact in 2-3 hours? It may play like a "greatest hits" version of the story and that may not work for the fans. I'll be curious to see how it works.

By the age of sixteen, she’s competing for the U.S. Open championship. But as Beth hones her skills on the professional circuit, the stakes get higher, her isolation grows more frightening, and the thought of escape becomes all the more tempting.''

From ''Chess'':

''When I was 9, I learned survival. Taught myself not to care. ... Pity the child who has ambition, knows what [she] wants to do ...''
