Ana Dolidze _ for People party leader Ana Dolidze has expressed her support for legendary Georgian chess player Nona Gaprindashvili in her social media post.
''Argentina has Maradona, Brazil has Pele, and Georgia has Nona! Nona! She is a contemporary legend. Our support to Gaprindashvili,'' she said in her post.
Iconic Georgian chess player Nona Gaprindashvili has sued Netflix for "false light invasion of privacy" and defamation after a line in the hit series The Queen's Gambit erroneously suggested that she was playing only against women.
The fifth women's world chess champion seeks over five million dollars in damages for what the suit claims is a "devastating falsehood, undermining and degrading her accomplishments before an audience of many millions."
The lawsuit is about a line in the last episode of the highly successful series that won two Golden Globes earlier this year and that is expected to win several prizes at the 2021 Emmy Awards on Sunday.
