Physical harassment of female players? If the top ranks are so full of male players, when one of them came across a female player wouldn't he be like a sailor who just got off ship? Why does that strike you as outrageous? Anya Taylor-Joy said in an interview that she identified more closely with Beth Harmon, the heroine of "The Queen's Gambit", then any other character she has ever played on screen. It is a wonderful TV series, even if a tad implausible. A Norwegian world champion said he liked a lot of things about the TV series but it was implausible that Beth would make such a rapid advance from playing in high school tournaments in the Mid-West to playing in international tournaments. I don't agree that women are all but non-existent in the top echelons of everything but absolutely share your admiration for Margaret Thatcher and our Janice Fiamengo.
