Imagine me, knowing absolutely nothing about chess, falling in love with this show. Like most people, when I heard it was about chess, I didn’t really pay much attention. But once you start watching, you realize it’s so much more than the game! The whole story is just so captivating. I’m so glad you guys enjoyed the first episode too and can’t wait for the next ones!

Thanks for sharing your reactions to "The Queen's Gambit". I enjoyed watching your first time viewing. The director/screenwriter, Scott Frank, adapted it from a novel. Years ago, he co-screenwrote an adaptation of Philip K. Dick's story that became a Spielberg film, "Minority Report". What we learned so far about Beth's life before the orphanage is that her mother, Alice Harmon, was once an author with a phd in advanced mathematics. She was likely a university instructor or professor but I may have missed that part. There may be a correlation between mathematics and the ability for some people to play chess very well. Beth's mom exhibited signs of mental illness that was getting worse over time - irrational behavior, moving from place to place, burning her belongings for reasons only known to her, etc.

Spartan is correct in the use of tranquilizers in episode 1. The time period of episode 1 is the 1950s and as experts better understood the science, they made changes to managing care. It is interesting to think about the motivation for something or someone, especially in earlier time periods. There are things we think we would NEVER do, but if we were in those times, we surely would. Interesting that the same thing that might be considered cruel or malice today could have been considered benevolent or supportive in an earlier time. Great reaction guys!

Spartan V Pudgey chess livestream…when???

Oh man, it's o nice to be watching a new series with you guys! Totally agree, never thought I would like a chess show, but absolutely love it!!

I played chess only a few times in my life. I had trouble thinking ahead. It is different being able to study chess and learn different moves, but being able to visualize different moves is really interesting. Sad about the drugs she go involved with as a result of being in the orphanage. Taking her off medication they hard her on without tapering is dangerous. She could have had seizures with the withdrawals. I really find it intriguing how well she excelled. Really hard going with the loss of her parents. Mr. Scheibel is a custodian which is the same as a janitor. When I was growing up we called them that in the US. It is really crazy how many drugs were given to people before they were illegal. LSD is one.

Some interesting info: In the Netflix series "The Queen's Gambit," the fictional drug that Beth Harmon takes is called "Xanzolam. It is not a real drug, but is likely based on tranquilizers such as Librium (chlordiazepoxide) which was a popular drug in the 1960s for treating insomnia or anxiety. with high potential for drug abuse from taking over extended periods of time, or Valium (diazepam). Both were commonly prescribed in the 50's and 60s, the time period in which the series is set. These drugs are benzodiazepines that have sedative and hypnotic effects.

Did not know this show shared one of the people that worked on Minority Report. Awesome.

John Neiberger

This is such a great series. Pretty psyched to watch it again.

I'm a massive chess nerd, so any chess questions you have I'll try to answer them for you 😅 Here's your starter pack: -White always goes first. -When Sheeble told her to resign, it's because she lost her queen, which is by far the most valuable piece on the board, so you're basically doomed. If you're in an almost certain losing position, it's considered etiquette to resign rather than waste everyone's time continuing a game you most definitely won't win. -The best players (grand masters) tend to become veryyy good at a young age, like Beth, and can visualise the game easily in their minds like she does. -In the 60's, Chess was a very big deal, particularly between the US and Soviet Russia. Being political enemies, the game was treated as a d*ck measuring contest between the two nations 😂 Loved the reaction, as always!

Has someone who was inspired to start playing chess on chess.com when I first watched this show and love playing chess ever since, it was nice to hear that you guys had played a little bit before and may revisit it thanks to this series. As you mentioned in the post discussion, the show is anchored around chess as a key element, but the show is about much more than chess. Excited that you guys are looking forward to the show.

The choking during the intro was caused by the Tottenham shirt.

MJ Eid

I don’t think enough reactors give this show a chance. It’s amazing.

David Cansler

My first time watching this series and the 1st episode was very good. I've played chess many times so this series will keep me intrigued. And Jolene, it took me most of the episode to realize that she also played Reva in the Kenobi series. Looking forward to the next one.

Gladyx

Really cool that you're giving this show a shot, unlike most reaction channels. I enjoyed rewatching this first episode with you. Also, shoutout to Isla Johnston for her amazing performance as 9yo Beth. Tough role for a child actor, but she really sold this pilot episode imo.

Bekka NoyB

Absolutely ♥ this series! One of the best shows ever made!
