I think Isla Johnston, the girl who played young Beth deserves as much credit as Anya. She delivered an outstanding performance and she is not credited enough for it. The first episode is crucial for viewers to keep watching a series, and she carried that weight and nailed it.

Of all the comments I've seen, no one mentions the math book that Beth is holding while her mother is burning her books and papers. The book bears her mother's name as the author, indicating that her mother was a mathematical genius, and that could explain Beth's brilliance.

Yes, on monomial structure, and Alice had a PhD. Alice was 5 in that scene. Also how Margaret in HS said she'd never get caught dead in a Dick Spencers or whatever, and just a few years later when she's got her kid and married, where does she run into Beth? At a Dick Spencers where she's got booze in the bottom of her stroller and Alice is still free to travel and win tournaments. I always wanted Beth to call her out on that too.

@joshuadrilon3832 3 года назад

The part that I really respect about the series was that she didn't care about her being a woman in a room full of men. She just wanted to play and never really cared how people perceive her. She was simply GOOD. She didn't have to be masculine to play amongst men. She just simply played and was good not because she a woman, but because she was more obsessed with her craft more than anybody else. I love a good story without the fricken politics that sticks out like a sore thumb, and eventually ruined the whole thing for me. Beth was like fire. A passionate, flame-like soul, strong and reverent, but gentle, not ruthless, even when she makes a ruthless move. They put so much effort and attention to detail with everything, Queen's Gambit might be my favorite show of all time!!! It is simply spectacular.

@giuliac7214 3 года назад

Exactly! And let's not forget those reviews in which they try to reduce it to a simple "feminist miniseries". Of course, Beth is a girl in a world of men, so there is also this component. But it is not the focal point of the story. Finally we have an incredible complex and cool female role and the only thing that some people can see is her being female. It reminds me so much of the interview they did with Beth in the third episode...

@subtle0savage 3 года назад

Over-all the series is very well done, and as a 'chess aficionado' it was a pleasure to see the game portrayed so realistically. The beauty and obsessive tragedy that thrives among the squares is captured by the production. With all that said there were some annoying, constant mistakes made throughout the production which real players would never make, key of which was failure to write moves down, the clocks not set or timing correctly, the 'flags' on the clocks being down (or 'flagged' as it is said in the game) during the speed-games, even with both players still hitting the clock. However, all that is relatively minor compared to the magnificence of the production in other areas--the playing of the pieces on the ceiling being key among those awe-inspiring scenes.

@nadnee 3 года назад

2 things I noticed: It wasn't so much a show about chess as it was about a young, VERY INTELLIGENT girl, trying to find her way thru the 60's and succeeding in a Male dominated world. And secondly, Anya's eyes are so big and beautiful, it's like she could see into your soul. I think that if I were to actually meet her in person I would "resign" in 5 minutes. I watched it out of curiosity & got hooked on her, 'cause who actually watches CHESS? Glad I watched it, very good.

@TheAccelerated 3 года назад

Agreed but not fully. There is plenty of detailed chess flair, psychology and history depicted and narrated in the movie, and its so well done that it also makes the movie what it is. I see Beth also as a female version of Bobby Fischer, very clearly sketched in the role of her late mother, a math genius, very similiar to Bobbys mother in reality.

One thing they completely missed Somehow Is that when she is playing the child, can’t recall his name, when Beth gets up and starts walking around and doing random acts to confuse him, that wasn’t in the script.

Errr, "Yuri Kasparov". You meant "Garry Kasparov". And no, he wasn't just a Grandmaster, he was World Champion from 1985 to 2000, one of the greatest players in the history of the game.

I remember Karpov vs Kasparov. I felt that in this series, Borgov was styled after Karpov, who was the champion before a young (and handsome, frankly) Kasparov beat him. Kasparov lost to him in his earlier try, but won in '85 and took over his domination. The old guard vs the new.

@MrEsMysteriesMagicks 3 года назад

I believe the video also failed to mention that some guy named Fischer was also somewhat more than a grandmaster, a world champion. Indeed, in 1972, he sparked the last great increase in the interest in chess which to this day is referred to as the "Fischer Boom."

The HP connection is big, the cinematic style, the fact that Beth is also an orphan who rises from rags to riches, discovering the magical world of chess, it's not just the Dudley actor.

Binged watched this series in one night and then watched it the second time over the course of three days. Excellent production and performances. Hollywood could learn from Netflix and make movies like this. The box office would reward the effort.

This was such an unexpected triumph of a show. I knew nothing going in and just liked the look of the thing. But from the first episode, the casting of the young Beth was inspired and I was gripped. Damn, it's so gooood! I might actually watch it again.

As a former chess nut who still has many sets collecting dust, I really enjoyed this movie as it reminded me much of my childhood growing up a chess nerd. However, I didn't anticipate how much I'd really like the characters and the storyline. A checkmate in my opinion.

About Kasparov: I felt that in this series, Borgov was styled after Karpov. He had been the champion for years, before a very young Kasparov beat him. Kasparov lost to him in his earlier try, but won in '85 and took over his domination. Kasparov (young, brilliant, handsome, and in hindsight, though nobody knew, quite opposite to what the USSR stood for) mesmerized the world. The old guard vs the new.
