I like how most sports they use steroids, slight of hand, hidden engineered devices, yet in chess there is anal beads. Imagine in Queen's Gambit series finale showed how the Russians forced their player to win by any means necessary, him screaming and kicking while the KGB grabs him and the camera fades to black
