Well, Beth has already given up fast chess with a fight, and she got Benny in bed, as she definitely expected. There is only one goal left ahead - Grandmaster Vasily Borgov, who again turned out to be stronger.
Just to get there, just not to fly off. It became scary after her separation at the end of the series.
Hello, Jolene, hello, old friend, you have a hairstyle...

I thought that she was deliberately giving in to Benny in rapid chess before the final to seem like a less strong opponent. Remember her smile when she returned to her room)

Make-up Bet at the end of the series - as a separate type of protest. It was notable that her roof was blown off from the second loss to this Soviet grandmaster Borgov. The girl went downhill...

Well, I can't ignore the appearance of Harry. How repulsive the actor was in the role of Dudley (Harry Potter) and how much he impresses me in this series. A nice and kind young man, not handsome, but just cool! I don't want to give it to Beth, he's too good for her...

@phenomenyaa: I'm not talking about how she lived, but about what she taught her daughter. The fact that these motherly words stuck in Beth's head was shown to us more than once. And it was difficult for Beth herself to move away from it-but it was necessary. In my opinion, one of the themes of the series is about how a gifted daughter of a gifted woman (we were shown a scientific book written by Beth's mother) chooses a different path - not isolation with her demons, the underside of talent, but one where it's not a shame to accept help from loved ones so as not to drown in the swamp at all.

I've already forgotten the name of the man who taught her how to play chess, and Beth doesn't remember him at all. Maybe I missed this moment, but it's been so long, and I don't think there's been a word about him since she asked for a five-dollar loan. All the people from the past flash by, except for him, it's a shame somehow.

@RomanMavrov: in her memories and in her head, yes. I'm talking about the present tense. The fact that she never visited him and did not even return the promised 10, did not find out how he was doing. Just the same, she constantly remembered him as a mentor who taught a nine-year-old chess, revealed her talent, if I may say so, but at least for a second to think where he is now and how he is - not once.

@oblivious: I think she sent him $10, it was just left behind the scenes.
And in the first big interview for the magazine, she talked about him, and then complained that the article didn't even mention it.
But I agree that it would be interesting to see how she visits him after all that has been achieved :)

It's great to see how one cocktail blew her mind. There didn't seem to be much pressure on this topic, but it's obvious that she has alcoholism. And she was also incredibly lucky that there were already three people who really care about her and are ready to support her. I hope Jolene will put her brains in place cleanly.

Sometimes I think about what I live for in general. And then I see Anya's drunken dancing and I understand that for the sake of such moments, ahah
More to the point, the saddest episode so far, in which Beth's talent for self-destruction turns out to be stronger than her talent for chess. And even the moment I mentioned above looks really sad in its essence. Especially realizing how much her success means to girls like herself.
Naturally, I do not stop enjoying the way the series was filmed. What is one camerawork worth: in the scene of Beth's dialogue with Whitley, I even rewound in order to once again look at the smooth hits on Whitley himself and how the Camera descends, showing us a grown-up, already superior Beth from another, superior Whitley angle. It's beautiful.
So far, the best series that only the finale can surpass

@Eliz1611: I liked the ironic parallel of her night with Beltik, when she immediately, after sleeping with him, sat down to read some magazine, probably the analysis of chess games, and he so timidly "so should I go to my room or what", and she told him "yes, do what you want".

So then she understood that to switch to another topic = sex is bad. Maybe that's why she was offended by his speech about chess, because it's like she's being told "well, of course, but I'm not so ecstatic that I forget about Borgov"

Of course, it's super that Borgov won, but this is such a break in patterns, because that's how the series began in general. I'm looking forward to watching the finale.

Still, I'm waiting for her to lose in the final. Chess does not bring her happiness. She is surrounded by men who infuriate her, she is always alone and suffers a lot from this. Yes, this is the mother's attitude, but did Beth deserve to repeat her fate? Nothing like that!
I see her future bright. But if the series ends on a tragic note, I'll accept it anyway. Because that's what life does to people most of the time

I was sure that Jolene stayed in the first episodes of the series. I kind of wanted to see Benny at the end, but when I saw her, I realized that such a plot twist is much cooler. It turns out symbolically: Jolene revealed to her the secret of green pills at the beginning, and at the end we see her again, but already as a savior 🥴

The most offensive thing in this series is that in fact, because of the model, everything turned out exactly like that. Yes, maybe she would have lost, but without such a fall after. I wanted to believe in her victory over herself, I hope this will happen in the last series. The second upset was that Benny called her that way and in the end did not try to come himself. Interesting opening of the series: Beth is still in love

Beth looks like the older sister of her fans, I'm completely perplexed with her sympathies. What was Benny saying about "get in shape"? He has the body of an 11-year-old child. Charming kid, smart, of course, that's a plus, but somehow it all looks pathetic - a junkie, a nerd and a jerk, good lovers. And what happened to Townes, why did he disappear from the radar?

I finally identified the genre of Queen's gambit - this is a classic anime senen, here, as in any senen, a lone hero begins his journey to greatness alone and the whole world is against him, the enemies who meet him on the way, being defeated, go over to his side, helping him become even stronger and accompany him on the path to the main boss, defeating which the hero senen will achieve his goals. Now I can safely include QG in the list of my favorite anime series.

How awesome and stylishly shot! And the second half of the episode is so sad that you want to cry from Beth's condition, and it's even sadder that others see it too, want to help, and she just 'bites' and suffers in response.
I keep waiting for someone or something to pull her out of the swamp, maybe Jolene, maybe victory from the USSR, maybe that guy from the room with the photos is her love, so I hope for a happy ending!

By the way, like many people, I didn't like the actress before this series, but here she is amazing! Her image, her face, her elegance, the fashion of the sixties, perfect, I was surprised that the series would be so cool!

I told you Benny wouldn't be able to resist😊
When Beth's mom died and her dad told her on the phone that the house was hers, I thought it was a strange thing for an asshole like him to do. And here it is, all the filth came out of the man.
The drunken spree is certainly impressive, but in a bad way, I hope that Jolene will be able to pull Beth out of this swamp.

Jolene is really cool here)
Beth's arrows don't go at all, her appearance doesn't hold them, and they're shown as more of a symbol of rebellion and "fall." And I liked how Benny turned her down after sex, now Beth found out how Harry felt when she ignored him in the same way, starting to read a book about chess after having sex with him.
In general, Beth is especially repulsive in this series, they say about her that she is smart, but a talent for chess is a talent for chess, at least smart people don't get drunk before the most important event for them. I can't say that this is such an unpleasant character for me, but her disregard for the feelings of others, coldness and irresponsibility irritate me personally, but at the same time I even envy the determination and ability to keep a face in difficult situations. He's an ambiguous character to me.
The story is interesting, the series is stylishly shot, and even if the chess theme is not my thing, it's really addictive, so I'm curious what they have in store for the finale.

Am I the only one who's really upset about Benny and Beth's relationship? he really fell in love with her, but her addictions, her complex nature played their part, it's like the perfect relationship goals, two people obsessed with what they love, but Beth still seems to reject all the good things from herself.
It's an incredibly difficult episode for me, it's hard to watch such rapid self-destruction.
I hope Jolene beats the crap out of her.

Upset this series. To everyone. In general, everyone. And Ben's home, and his strange attitude to Beth, and the appearance of his foster father, and the hangover game and the breakdown after. I don't like this spirit of the times and this way of life of our main character. Probably, the screenwriters were trying to achieve this. I don't want to include the last episode yet.

For me, the fact that Beth came to the match with a hangover is disrespectful to the opponent. I also don't like excessive formality, but you are being played against by a professional, the best of the best, your personal rival, whom you dream of defeating and your goal - what kind of behavior is this?

Beth did this not out of disrespect for her opponent, but because she is addicted to alcohol and could not restrain herself from going to a meeting with Cleo, stopping after the first cocktail. She was very ashamed during the game.

I really liked this episode. Especially when Beth was having fun in the living room, it was a beautiful picture.

Benny and Beth's relationship is reminiscent of the Arctic Monkeys song "Why would you only call me when you're high?”, only Benny is the one who calls Beth when she's drunk)))

Happy to welcome Jolene!!! I've been waiting for her since Beth left the orphanage.

I don't even understand what exactly happened at the game with Bogrov before she gave up? Did she understand what kind of game was being played? Why didn't you give up before this rook move? For a second it seemed to me that Bogrov succumbed, and she refused such an unfair victory, but still it seems very unlikely for the Soviet and world champion. So, does anyone understand what happened in the last moves?

It's a great mini-series... the actress was chosen and played super... For me, chess in the series is an entourage, first of all it is a drama of a talented child... initially, a mentally unstable mother who killed herself and tried to kill her child, then an orphanage that got her hooked on psychotropic drugs, then a foster mother who lived on alcohol and psychotropic drugs... and a small child is making his way through these wilds, who has found an outlet and escape from reality in chess... All such endings are more optimistic... It's not for nothing that this series wins prizes... looking at

I don't understand why everyone is running around Beth like that. What did she do to them? I just sent it and forgot. And they're all running around and looking for her attention. The situation of the "cool indifferent alpha" in the female image. Already Mary Sue somehow turns out that this one loves her, and this one falls in love, and people from the past run in droves, and the new girlfriend showers compliments. I do not believe. What's her thing? That she plays chess and humiliates people? She spits on them and their feelings, and when she does something wrong (the scene with Benny, where he, like her earlier, starts talking about chess instead of HER), she immediately gets angry. It's unpleasant to get a reply. But I'm truly sorry that the cat didn't cry such answers.
If in the final she gets drawn by everyone she has a queen on, I will be disappointed. If she gets drunk according to the traditions of real life, it will be cool.
The main thing is, why should she rise from the bottom? What good has she done or is she planning? She only cares about winning, drinking, drugs, and nothing else. Well, maybe dresses, but that's optional. In short, I don't understand the mountain of comments wishing Beth all the best.

What I was afraid of happened – the girl went into a breakaway. She's always been a sucker for these tempting nastiness, but now it's generally dangerous and disastrous. Borgov, of course, is very powerfully made, the tension is just perfectly felt – you can't deny the series a good acting performance. Mr. Wheatley is infuriating, as he should be, Mrs. Wheatley, whom I miss very much, gives warmth, as she should, Beth naturally goes crazy, as she should, Cleo behaves like a woman who has lived her life, as she should, Harry charms with kindness and how he has changed, as he should, Borgov, as it should, it scares.
– Do you still like my hair?

That's whose hair I was really happy to see, so it's Jolene. Maybe she could get Beth out of this.

Everything seems to be fine, but I don't understand this change in the plot, when Jolene came herself, Beth was looking for her in the book, because she considered the only person who would help her. That is, she herself understood that she needed help, the very essence of her problem is just such that no one will help until you want to.
