Obscure to all except those well-versed in Yuuzhan Vong lore.
I’m on episode 5 and I love it but can someone explain to me the timeline of this show. Because in Episode 2 when Beth first reads the Chess Review magazine to find out about the state tournament it’s clearly 1963 as the cover of Newsweek shows Kennedy and his Ich Ben Ein Berliner speech which was July 1963. Well in episode 5 when she reconnects with Beltic from the tournament it’s 1966 but they both say it’s been 5 years since they last saw each other.

Besides that it’s kind of hard to even follow how much time has passed between the whirlwind of tournaments. Do we know what year was she adopted?

Are pro chess players allowed to basically cheat and get help from others during adjournments?

So how is the general chess community taking this show and it’s inspiration for an explosion in interest in chess? Are they mostly all happy about it or are there insular assholes scoffing at it?
