Further Ideas for Chess Movie

I was going to say this is a film about star-crossed lovers (the two Queens). But while doing research on the trope I learned that, and I quote, "In modern times, the term "star-crossed" is often unknowingly misused to mean lovers who are meant to be together" (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/StarCrossedLovers). This doesn't really work for our trope anymore because we want the Queens to be soulmates that are brutally ripped away from one another.
