In a fun twist, as McClain noted, since Fischer was known to be dismissive of female chess players and once claimed they were less intelligent than men, "Making Beth recall a female Fischer may have been a sneaky, and wonderful, way to send up that assessment."
So they "owned" Bobby Fischer and his wholly accurate assessment of female chess players by grafting his skill and personality onto a fictional female chess prodigy who is more accomplished than any real female player in history? That'll show him, eh?
This is just so painfully "Netflix".
You can argue that paintball may have a hand-eye coordination factor but in a mental/ strategy game that looks kind of bad.
Yeah, the thing about pinball is the hand/eye part of it is just muscle memory and practice once you get down the standard moves for ball handling. Everything beyond that hinges on mental & strategy of trying to hit specific targets and order of the rules of the table you're standing in front of. It's not rocket science once you know the table you're playing, but even then you've got the guys putting up double to triple the scores the women do. I'm sure they'd have some excuse like they don't get to practice as much as the men, or the men intimidate them when they're at the machine - never mind the fact that dudes have to put up with the same shit when they're at a tourney, and guys have to find their own time to practice, too.
