One thing that Japan and anime did superbly is whenever it's a bout a sport, they take the time to explain the game, thus when the climax occur, not only we can see the protagonist in a bind, trying to win, we are being put in the same position as the protagonist and trying to solve the issue at hand but that would actually mean they need to do a lot of research on the game. The drama was ok I guess but I love Anya Taylor. She carries that character well. Storyline not that creative. Its like rewatching Rocky except she punched guys with chess.
