After months of mediation, Netflix settled a lawsuit filed by a Georgian chess grandmaster accusing the streamer of defamation in the critically acclaimed series "The Queen's Gambit."
Nona Gaprindashvili sued Netflix last year, objecting to a scene in which a commentator refers to Gaprindashvili while narrating a match between protagonist Beth Harmon (played by Anya Taylor-Joy) and fictional Russian Grandmaster Viktor Laev at the Moscow Invitational tournament.
Gaprindashvili's $5 million lawsuit challenged the show's characterization of her never competing with men in chess in 1968, when the final episode takes place.
