A few fun facts for you guys! The games played on screen are actual games from history, which the actors had to learn and play out as they're acting the scene. Anya Taylor-Joy didn't even know how to play chess before being cast in this series. The writer and director, Allan Scott, sent Anya Taylor-Joy the book by Walter Tevis before they even had a script, which is part of what enticed her to the show. Also watch out for the costume and set design, as there are chessboard patterns everywhere, and Beth wears a green item of clothing in her lowest moments, symbolising her addiction.
