Beg to differ with you about Judit Polgar being the "only female Chess Grand Master." According to Wikipedia there are currently 37 females named as a chess Grand Master. Susan Polgar was named a Grand Master the same year as Judit. At the time Judit earned the title she was the youngest , however currently, Hou Yifan holds the title as the youngest female Grand Master, ever. She earned the title at the age of 14.

I stand corrected - -
Perhaps Judit was one of the first - along with Susan
But Bobby still reigns supreme in the history of Chess.
I've watched that video of the match between him and Byrne multiple times - -

No clue how Bobby saw those moves.

I like to spread things out. I'm about to start Episode 4. Interesting about Gary.
I like to watch the credits because I often see interesting things like that. Sometimes, it's a family affair with relatives on the cast and crew. I watched an old movie, and a now-famous actor (I forget his name) was listed as Fireman #1. I went back to see if I could find him - no luck. Very minor part. Another thing I like to see is where movies were filed. I've seen some that were done not far from where I live.

Yeah - - I binge-watched the 7 episodes - sorry there weren't more :( . Like you, I've become amazed at some of the folks that lived in my home town. Like THE Robert Vaughn (Man from UNCLE), David Letterman, Robert Preston, and others too numerous to list. History is fascinating, and too soon forgotten.Another thing I like to see is where movies were filmed. I've seen some that were done not far from where I live.
