Kudos to the chess TEACHER! So many people ignored her skills, well done.Of course, RIP Shaibel.

I feel like the girl needs to be recognized more ..she was good

I loved that entire series. truly great work all around. and the ending.... marvelous. full circle.

Shes so adorable and tremendous at acting

She did a very excellent part of the movie and very cute too.

What stands out for me in particular is how the boys acted. Most scripts would have them say something sexist or just mean to hammer the point home that they're ahole boys. But the glares were more than enough to tell us they don't think a girl should be playing with them. Show. Don't tell.

Like a father who never shows that he prouds of his children successes

Show* and I agree

🌺 *Take on the role of young Beth Harmon, her name is Isla Johnston* *She was born for acting and I think her face looked more like Scarlett Johansson, even the last name is similar* 😄

The high school chess teacher is so devoid of emotion or courtesy. I know it's a downer for the boys who are being beaten so badly at chess, but show some respect, guys. This girl has finally achieved something that makes her feel a strong surge of self-esteem.

This is the best serial Netflix has ever made. I remember watching it all night, episode after episode. When next weekend came I've started it over. From beginning.

Her acting is truly awesome! What a wonderful and talent actress.

I felt badly when the high school chess director gives her a doll. You can see her face of anticipation hoping it's a chess set, only to be utterly dismayed to lift a doll out of the box. I think that's why she chucks it into the trash with such resentment. What a shame she went so long without a chess set of her own!

Ya I wonder why they did that. She liked the chocolates but wanted to acknowledge his role in her success? ...doesn't fit her character. Maybe they would be stolen or confiscated anyway. Or maybe (I like to think) the screenwriter or director is familiar with a concept that teachers of early childhood know: extrinsic rewards (like chocolates) are overshadowed by the pure joy of accomplishment in every child's mind. Perhaps you like the scene because you know this too (subconsciously or instinctively), and appreciate the expression of the concept.

Beautiful

A defense is a type of opening for black. When you go 1. E4 there are a few openers for black like the sicilian, caro kahn, etc. and some are meant to give better attacking chances. I'm betting Charles went for some aggressive defense like the sicilian or scandinavian and lost when his attack fell apart because Beth knows how to defend, which is much harder than attacking.

This scene reminds me Derren’s Brown show when he play chess with professionals but they actually play between themselves. Here Beth is really good even if it's just fiction.

At the risk of sounding like a dumb kid, I wish they made a mini-series like this about Slayers_Boxer for Starcraft or perhaps Daigo for Street Fighter.

I could kind of see how she didn’t. Beth leaves the people who leave her alone. Mr. S didn’t really speak to her when they made her stop playing chess or didn’t really acknowledge her when she waved goodbye when she was adopted. So she kind of just thought he was just another person that abandoned her That’s why it hit her so hard when she came back and saw all those things because she saw that he never abandoned her. They both had really poor communication skills about what they both meant to each other.
