@@mariemadlenek Could be but I took it differently. I think the $10 wasn’t really important to either of them. I think she broke down because she felt the loss of this man who taught her a game and changed her life. The $10 was incidental, it went way beyond that. But yeah, a reunion scene would have been cool but it was also super powerful that after all that time she saw that he had been following her career all along.

And eventually people stop asking and just see her as the best chess player and not the best female chess player. Also the show didn’t beat you over the head with the fact that she’s a women bc Beth herself didn’t pay it any attention. It was a refreshing way to handle it

I am a 59 year old man who's occupation is truck driving. I was sitting in bed unsure of what to watch and I clicked on Queen's Gambit. Netflix is my only streaming service, and typically I watch a couple of minutes of a show or movie and feel unimpressed, and quickly close it out... never to return to it. I had no foreknowledge of Queen's Gambit and figured I would not be impressed, but boy was I wrong. I inhaled the first episode. I was so utterly drawn-in and engaged by the girl who played Beth at the orphanage, and her relationship with Mr. Shaibel. Little did I know that the adult-version of Beth would impress me even more. I have since watched the series twice, and I tell everyone I work with about it. Of course, everyone I work with drives a truck for a living so I doubt many of them will feel inclined to watch it. Their loss. Anya Taylor Joy is fascinating. There are so many nuanced moments in her expressions or attitude that are mesmerizing to watch. She is pure gold. Nobody can do what she does. One thing that really makes me sad is that Mr. Shaibel didn't say good-bye to her when she left the orphanage. Why did he ignore her when she waved good-bye to him from the car? He later sent her $5 for the tournament fee, I know. But still... I was just saddened by what their relationship had become.

Mr. Shaibel didn't say goodbye because it was too painful for him, it's a defense mechanism. She was the closest thing to a friend he ever had and he just couldn't handle the fact that she was leaving. When you can't deal with certain emotions you can either pretend they don't exist or face those emotions and risk a mental breakdown. He chose the first.

@@marshall2 I don't know if you're much of a reader, a lot of people aren't, but I know they also made the book into an audiobook. So if you can't get enough of Beth maybe that would be fun to listen to while you're driving. What I especially loved is the moment when she's in Paris and she's about to go up to the russian. She just got dressed and she's wearing this ligh green and dark green dress, when she takes the first sedative pill since a long time, and after Paris is when she completely spins out. I just like how the dress is the same colours as her pill and it symbolizes to us, the watcher, that she is going to have a rough patch when she comes back from Paris.

It's shown in a smart way, she doesn't care about clothing before going to school and checking how the other girls dress. After that, and the "sales" store scene, where she stops at a mannequin with nice clothing, she basically adds "dress well" as an additional purpose in life. She doesn't want to look "girly", she uses clothing as one more way to prove her independency.

What i love most about the show is how they portrayed the relationship between Beth and her mom. Two lonely women with significant amount of problems, giving each other as much space as one needs and quiet support, while each one of them gained something she craved from that. 10 10 would recommend.

And after that scene we see that Benny, also a top player, drives a crappy VW bug and lives in a depressing apartment - so much for a glamorous chess life but the reality that it is a hard way to try to make a living. Even more true to reality would be showing some of these brilliant players making money by teaching chess to "idiot" untalented children from rich families - what a mind numbing way to waste their talent but it pays the bills.

Clearly the magic of the series. It can project such a superhuman person and on top glamorous character while at the same time showing her humanity in a very touching and universal way. We see and feel her struggles, her pleasure, her pain, her anger, her success. It is of course done through an amazing script which clearly deserved the 7 hours since there is not a wasted moment and since a film lenght would have been not enough.

Miss Taylor-Joy’s performance is going to be required viewing in film school. It is as close to cinematic perfection as makes no difference. It is the right part for her and she plays it to perfection. What really gets me, as a chess player of many years, is how completely relatable the chess-playing and the environment surrounding it is. There was no moment where I thought: nah, I don’t believe this. Everything about it is the genuine lived experience of chess players (there’s more to it than that, but it’s not about what every other player does, it’s what she does). This is what great tv is. This performance will never get old.

I watched this series in one day, and I was amazed by the storyline and her riveting role. I unintentionally got my dad hooked in as well since, most of the time, he rarely gets interested in anything. If he did, his attention span is pretty short. It was amusing to see him so eager to go on to the next episode that I could not help but oblige. As it turns out, he used to play chess when he was young. In a way, I see this show as even more special because I found out things about my dad, who is a very private man, that I never knew before and that we both genuinely enjoyed watching something so intense and compelling together. Anya is a phenomenal actress! We are fans of you. Can't wait to see more of Anya on screen ❤

I loved everything about this series. The characters, the relationships, the settings. the period, the fashion, the chess, her addiction and recovery. A protagonist that you could root for. I had a lot to reminisce with having been in my 20s during the 60s and having traveled to most of the places depicted and at that same time. And I'm a chess fan so I could connect with that as well. (Chess fans - Agadmator on KZfaq analyzes several of the matches with the Russian.) What a pleasure to watch such a great Netflix series. Especially after I had abandoned a few other series after just a few episodes.

I couldn't agree more with you - I enjoyed it so much for all the same reasons. As everyone is team Anya (and rightfully so - she is a luminously intelligent actress and lifts this production to the skies) I want to speak up for the wardrobe team. Ill-fitting but correct-for-period underwear was utterly perfect, as was hair (only one bad wig on one of the collaborators in NY helping her prep for the Russian final) and I could practically smell the perspiration on the polyester suits and shirts. Sublime, understated perfection in hair and wardrobe.

I have daydreamed endlessly about becoming the world chess champion. Imagine Beth visualizing the combinations of ever-moving pieces dancing across the ceiling then imagine someone doing that in their daydreams; done with forks and revisions, not with pieces but with plot. That is me, but in my imagination there is no drug or alcohol abuse. Maybe it was necessary in this series. We have become conditioned to need it in our American art/entertainment or to sell a story. How Takao Yoshioka put it, "...the day might eventually come...when the muses demand another loss." For worse, this was Beth's story. Even still... I loved the series and loved the fashion. P.S. Marielle Heller as Alma Wheatley is award worthy.

Man this series hit different, what I loved most about it was that it wasn't just about the intricacy of the story but literally every single aspect of it was thoroughly thought out and in every scene I felt the amount of care that was put into it - from wardrobe, to camera angles, to transitions, to color choice. I hate to make the comparison but I feel that not enough series on netflix care about the entirety of the experience to the extent that this series did. You can tell by how Anya talks about it as well the difference it makes when everyone is truly invested and it's not just a money grab. loved it and congrats to the entire team, so much to be proud of in this series.
