One of Beth's first opponents arrived late and wasted crucial time - this same thing happened to Magnus when he was child, facing chess legend Kasparov.

I founded very interesting the fact of taking the point of view of a male, who grew up with not impact of major trauma commenting on the mini séries... when I saw it I had flashbacks from my childhood. I was a silent kid since I was born to ten... My mother was mute and deaf and had to leave her when I was nine. For some reasons... So I lived in a orphanage and was send to the best school in the city. I had this old education... And on semester we got taught chess. I was intimidated, my teacher said to me : “you have nothing to loose” I thought that was true... And started to learn and play... (Before leaving my mom, I was a free child play in the luxurious garden and making my own toys and adventures... And thinking about lots of things metaphysical.) When I played chess... I could find again the enormous pleasure of being in my inner world... And the pleasure of my mind concentrate on the learning of multiple combinations, remembering and predict moves... And the focus quietness... Each time I played the world, disappeared and time was different and was mine... I never did loose, never looked to win... but simply beat my opponent with quietness. I did beat all the players... of the girls first... Than they wanted to see with the winner of the boys... I did beat him as well. I inter stood today why I had learn chess the way I did and so many other things. Because of a great memory and a hight cognitive mirror capacity... Also the woman in the movie, she is young, had a trauma (so a réflexe to num herself and get the sharpe mind) she took as well some psychotrope, to bind her imaginary cognitive mind with the strength et plasticity of the brain at that age ... and with of focus purposes (like her chess) what she did Is possible. With out psychotrope, what she did... I did it during 10-15 years old during my highly training sports and with language:) And she became a young woman with no necessarily social skills, but look how she behaves... Bref all this said... even for talking about chess I do not thing the intervenant in that video was the best person to comment.

Hikaru be one of those people looking at the ceiling when thinking

I got a chess ad while watching this

Не может женщина 24/7/365 думать о шахматах. И общаться только с мужской аудиторией женщине очень тяжело и эмоционально и даже физически

I would also give it a 5/6 It has some really likeable, complex characters. It highlights the beauty of chess in a way that non-chess players can admire. It's world building is top of the line, like a passport through time. Before society got so frantic, where people still had to wonder what mexico would be like instead of instantly googleing it, where contact with someone you deeply admired is lost the moment you seperate from them. That being said there were some characters that were underdeveloped, there were some anti-christian undertones in the plot that were kind of random. And although beths character was not a man hater, this show is intended to belittle men through the empowerment of women.

well seems like Magnus did no drugs at all because when u do u usually start seeing weird things around you kekw

What’s wrong with his lip? Is there a cut? What’s going on lol

Hikaru: .-.

What’s Magnus’ favorite beer snack?...Chess Nuts 🌰

Magnus is more borgov than beth

Hikaru Nakamura:🙄

The movies genre must be Fantasy

And magnus got smashed by a child after he made these comments 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

he would be perfect cast for "Smart Thor"

Everything plays perfectly inside a movie 🤣it's like daydreaming about the perfect chess match of their life. Is it even worth the feedbacks of actual players 🤣

....and the fact she's a woman participating in world tournaments is of course something that doesn't happen in real life yet. Why is that, does anybody know. Does Formula 1, Chess, moto GP..etc have a womans division?

I wish I have brain like them

I thought the series was brilliant. I don’t know shit about chess. Don’t care really. The directing, character development, plot lines, acting, script, cinematography ... simply wonderful. I will watch this again and again over the years . . . if I have any more.

Magnus Carlsen is the only player in the present who can completely relate, just completely humiliating their opponents 🥶

It is proven men “Are smarter LoL”!!

This dude thinks he know something about chess

Pride of womanhood is always tried to save by movies, tv shows and even with the help of cartoons. Next time, Find a real chess genius woman, if there is any, instead of lying about it. This way maybe we could take it serious.

I guess Magnus should have been scared of the Russian too.

Thank you, Magnus for pointing out the importance of practice. Lot of people who mock those with unfortunate circumstances saying they were lazy should use that energy to make the world a better place for everyone. Also, when people call these genius gifted they are doing so to excuse their lack of hard work and disrespecting the hard work of those gifted people. If anyone beats unimaginable odds and achieves something, good. After all too much luxury never leads to any good. But this gifted mysticism is bad for everyone.

its not about playing chess...

i love the series QUEEN'S GAMBIT...I see the power of making choices in life, if you wanted to be succeed in life just choose what is better.

Petition to add 5 more squares on the chess board ;)

I think the "chess on the ceiling" thing is his opinion. Literally just yesterday I was watching Susan Polgár, another chess player, who talks about how you play out the possibilities in your head. While not everyone may choose the ceiling, it helps if you look away to imagine the pieces moving. By the way, Susan Polgár is sister to Judit Polgár, the only woman to beat the highest ranked player in the world at the time, and who has defeated multiple other male grandmasters, including yes, Magnus himself. So while HE may not picture a board or think it's common, some of the only people who can beat him have provided evidence to the contrary lmao

Fucking stupid

When I saw his face I knew he’s a good chess player. Good chess players look the same around the world...

I wish I was 100 at anything. Problem for me is I have about 4-5 talents (hobbies) that all conflict with each other and cost $ Maybe one day I will just focus on one. Haha

After peaky blinders S05 I can't really like her

dishwasher

A little bit disappointed on Magnus not going deep on the women at chess explanation (3:08). I would like to know his expert opinion. I always asked myself why there are no more women in this game as they usually exceed men's intelligence, effort, ...

Is this show actually good? Seems cheesy, stereotypical. If you think it's not cheesy I will watch it

One of the best shows I've ever watched

This guy sounds pompous at times. It's completely understandable to think there are people with certain gifts that see 'chess boards on the ceiling' so to speak. Some are born with certain talents, skill is grown through effort and work. The series shows how far her natural talent takes her and that she has to grow her skill after she gets so far.

At the end of the day its entertainment...

Who rates something out of 6? Gees🙄

It was kind of fun to watch. However, I feel like her character arc is almost nonexistent. She is never challenged, never fails. OK, she has a bit of trouble in the orphanage, but once that's over and done with, she beats every single player without breaking a sweat. She once loses to the Russian player at an inconsequential tournament, and loses an even more inconsequential speed chess game. That's it. I feel like the show could have been done so much better.

lol this is basically an ad

The cautious century pertinently yell because number formally hate including a typical grape. brawny, ill-fated cheese

"Unconscious thing that we do in order to remember..."? Surely he means subconscious. LOL!

This is clearly a PR stunt. All answers feel strategized. Not authentic.

She was tripping mate jesus

Another fantasy of diversity at the apex. In the real world, all apex meritorious positions are held by white, Asian, or Indian males. Go ahead and pretend this isn't true, but don't tell me it is reality.

With the staring at the ceiling, the addition of drugs made it seem like it was actually a hallucination she was seeing, rather than just visualising something. I mean, she needed the drugs to do it, didn’t she?

the saddest thing about being magnus is he will never experience the feeling of beating magnus

it's her story dear not urs! Seriously?!

She wasn't trying to exactly immitate chess players..in fact it wd have been boring if she did...she did it greatly and gave a taste to chess

Man if netflix is gonna make us look at this girl in literally everything it's time to hire an eye wrangler

Was the insanity aspect mostly a reference to Bobby Fischer?

chess champions are usually male 'cause misogyny

"Recognize myself in her".... yes... XD

Loved the show, but Chess only formed the framework for the real narrative to play out.

Wonder how would she play The Starcraft 2 : )

The far-flung jump pathophysiologically mine because story disappointingly arrest vice a dazzling plate. tawdry, clever rose

Why didn't they ask a woman chess master about this? Oh wait..

She looks totally Russian anyway. Her name could be Natasha Romanov.

She's only hot if she doesn't smile.

it's funny how he want's to make it all about him xD

The queens gambit was garbage, left wing feminist propaganda. Boring dialogue and they got everything wrong about chess. This show was only hyped because it featured an SJW plot with a feminist character shoved down our throats. No woman has ever been better than the top 100 men in chess. Fact.

The early twine functionally balance because environment electrophysiologically cough abaft a illustrious armchair. fixed, tangy bronze

As a Fellow Norwegian and best friend to the 7th ranked Junior In norway when I was small I would say Netflix should do as all of us wants and make Magnuses doc or movie adoption. So much wonderful attention for such a deserving sport. Chess rules. Actually. -Dan

I feel the word talent is intimidating in some ways. It can make a person feel as if they aren't enough to be great in something. If I would want to inspire someone to be great, I would urge them to stay curious about what they love...thats all. ( does this makes any sense ? xD)

We are taught that gifted chess players are genius or successful in life. In reality, they are just good chess players.

The objective of the show was to promote feminism

She isn't real!!! It is just a movie. Why is there so much publicity like she was real or any of the games she played were real? This is how propaganda works. Talk about something long enough and it becomes real.

Magnus vs queen gambit

It is a very entertaining series. I understand chess sets are selling like crazy on Amazon. Hey, maybe this movie will get kids away from looking at their iPhone all day.

I see empanadas on the ceiling

Well done lad, you kinda said what you were actually thinking but without making a politically incorrect blunder ha

Anyone want to talk about why the lead is a woman?

This is just another fiction woke movie disguised as somehting else so you can take the bite.

So is there no one bitching that a white girl and surprisingly pretty got a lead role in movie?

I think that he misses the point, which may having nothing to do with chess. Until Beth won her first tournament, she never owned a chess board, and was FORCED to play games in her head. Lots of people live their lives out in their head like that. And nobody around them ever knows it.

lol 5/6? what kind of wierdo rates things out of 6?

Women can do better in Chess Magnus .... like any other player, they just need to be good, or do you want to lower standard and force quota like a good globalist ?

I agree with Magnus. A lot of this show is bullshit and shows how incompetent the author of the book and producer of the series know about chess in reality. The only good thing out of this series was spreading and popularizing the game to many people.

I started watching this movie and was immediately turned off by what seemed to show the character being an alcoholic. I learned at school, back in 2004, that alcohol destroys your brain cells. So how the hell can this character have enough brain cells to be that good a chess player?!

What a dicky review lol

Everybody in the world x/10, Magnus Carlsen: x/6

thats the guy from strongest handshake in the world

Magnus would destroy the fictional beth in a game

Who's this pretty boy? I bet he doesn't even know how the horse moves.

Its so fake I can't watch it. A woman will never be the world champion.

I wonder if he watched the whole series, or just snippets of "chess games" in each eps.

2:56

he's not world champion in chess, but rather world master in acting like a child.

This is amazing. Please check out my beth Harmon edit

This guy took the whole show literally. Of course chess players don’t see pieces on the ceiling

Truth is intelligence comes with a cost. Intelligent people fall into depression more than average people. Average people are more happy than intelligent ones.

In the future will play serial on Netflix "Magnus real chess Grandmaster" and everyone will want to watch it because will be a real story

The grading scale for movies, music, games, literature, plays, and more in Norway is 1-6, or "how the die is cast".

Anya Taylor Joy and The Queens Gambit is going to win the Emmys 2021

Wld be nice if magnus or any other of the present or past great chess players like kasparov anand do a cameo and appear in the movie for a few seconds

I would watch this if i were paid.. too much politically correct stuff for me, ruins it

Not him flexing that he has a healthy lifestyle
