The series will be Netflix’s first ever text-based drama, which the entire story playing out via game chats, discord chats and tweets.
In this example, young BethHarmon plays her first game on Lichess against MrShaibelFTW

Rapid Game: BethHarmon(1500?) vs MrShaibelFTW (1912)

MrShaibelFTW: Oh damn you lichess! Another noob!
BethHarmon: Sorry?
MrShaibelFTW: It keeps pairing me with 1500? noobs. You’re all cheaters.
BethHarmon: Oh, I’ve never played chess but one of the girls at the orphanage was watching a heavily edited clip on YouTube in which GothamChess destroys a cheater. I’ve not been able to think of anything else since.
MrShaibelFTW: I know the feeling
MrShaibelFTW: The Stafford? Seriously? You been watching Rosen?
BethHarmon: Who?
MrShaibelFTW: This is just losing for you now. You should resign.
BethHarmon: No!
MrShaibelFTW: Yes, you must!
BethHarmon: No! I’m gonna let me clock run down.

Warning, BethHarmon, abandoning your game could result in a temporary ban.

Rapid Game: MrShaibelFTW (1913) vs BethHarmon(1186?)

MrShaibelFTW: What? You again?
BethHarmon: Oh hi. I just watched a John Bartholomew Stream and he said don’t play the Stafford, it’s a trash opening.
MrShaibelFTW: Err, okay. Let’s go.
MrShaibelFTW: A Scandi? You serious? Okay then.
BethHarmon: Go easy, this is only my 2nd ever game.
MrShaibelFTW: Go easy? You’ve just rolled out 11 moves of perfect Scandi theory.
MrShaibelFTW: Still theory.
MrShaibelFTW: Okay, you’re using Stockfish, yeah?
BethHarmon: What’s that?
MrShaibelFTW: You’re using an engine, it’s obvious. Magnus himself wouldn’t be able to find these moves.
BethHarmon: Magnus hasn’t been born yet.
MrShaibelFTW: Weird.
MrShaibelFTW: Such a cheater. You noobs are all the same.

Takeback requested

BethHarmon: OMG Mouseslip!
MrShaibelFTW: You serious? You think I’m gonna give a takeback to a bot?
BethHarmon: It was an obvious mouseslip! Come on man!
MrShaibelFTW: Nope, learn to take your own mistakes gracefully.
BethHarmon: Oh stuff this, ChessCoachAndras just started a stream. Gonna watch him.

Black resigns.
