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".
Men are exceptional, women are average. It applies to literally every category we have, men will make up both ends of top and bottom while women are generally all vaguely close to the same.
That Y Chromosome is the much more mutatable one, because men are genetically disposable so it can risk trying new things. So all the absurd shit a human can be will always be men first, and evolution will eventually pass it on to women.
That's why you can often quite accurately assess and predict women, while men are crapshoots much of the time.
