Middle Game - S1-E4

Corrected entry: In 1966, "Mexico City" was not called "Mexico City." It was referred to as "Mexico City." It was not until 2016 that the "Distrito Federal" began to be called "Mexico City" (Ciudad de Mexico). (00:11:31)

Correction: Mexico City has been informally called Mexico City for hundreds of years.

Middle Game - S1-E4

Corrected entry: As Beth describes her game where she played black, she says she plays pawn to queen bishop four, but black can't play this on the first move. (00:20:20)

Correction: How is this an illegal move? P-QB4 is two squares ahead of her pawn and pawns can move 2 spaces on their opening move. Notation always takes place from the player's perspective, not the White's perspective.

Openings - S1-E1

Factual error: The car accident scene takes place in Kentucky but the state troopers are wearing the uniforms of Pennsylvania state troopers evident by the distinctive keystone arm badge.

Harry Beltik: Anger's a potent spice. A pinch wakes you up. Too much dulls your senses.
