Yes, it was refreshing to see the predominantly respectful response of her competitors, which I took to indicate that perhaps the objective reality of chess skill, best understood by chess players themselves, was enough to mitigate ambient pervasive sexism of the era. The few who couldn't handle it flounced off, but weren't otherwise disrespectful. In particular, Borgov always seemed respectful, even when Beth seemed hung over-- he almost conveyed a fatherly vibe, like Shaibel.
