      Isla Johnston is marvellous! And she has to carry the first episode which is such a difficult thing to ask of such a very young actor, and especially considering they asked her to do so much non-verbal acting which child actors aren't exactly the strongest at. They found a real star, I hope she stays in the business.

    I played in chess tournaments in the decade before Fischer won the world championship and it was very much as depicted in the series. Like Beth, I took Russian courses so I could read the Russian chess magazines. It's a miracle i graduated high school because I'd be sitting very attentively in class while the teacher was lecturing but I'd be visualizing chess moves and games in my mind. I stopped playing in my senior year of college in 1970 but played in one last tournament in 1975 at the Harvest Open in Providence, Rhode Island. It was the only tournament in which I won first place (tied with a young mathematician).
    This series captures it all, the mood of the times, what it was like start playing in tournaments, trying to get up the 50 cents to buy a copy of Chess Life magazine and running to the library to read chess books. The mood, the Weltanschuang, to use a fancy word, what the exuberance and the dreams of the 1960's were all about, it's in that series for any person, sociologist or otherwise, to watch and get some semblance of understanding from where we, of that generation, came.

    Personally, this scene reminds me very much of Hou Yifan, who was the second best female chess player in history after Judit Polgar, who also once beat her in a game. She told in one interview that when she was 7 years old, the coach of a major chess club heard about her successes and considered accepting her into the group. In the first class, he wanted to test her skills. He chose his best students and asked her to play a game with each of them. They were all boys and much older than she was. They were between 14 and 16 years old. She was only 7 and the only girl there, but she easily beat everyone. Later, they solved various tasks, practiced difficult endgames such as mate with only knight and bishop. Hou Yifan said that she had never studied chess theory before, but her solutions to these problems were the best of all in the group. After these classes, the owner of the club called her coach and said that he was ready to take her even from tomorrow because he had never seen such a talented chess child before. She later became the youngest female GM ever to win the GM title and broke Judit Polgar's record. She was 14 years old and the youngest GM at the world then, both among girls and boys.

      ​@@syahidahabidin65 In fact, it would be enough if the guardians at the orphanage enrolled her in some chess club, which would then allow her to participate in tournaments, play with grandmasters and develop her skills. Although she actually became World Champion at a very young age. She was 22 when she won the title, the youngest in chess history. Although, in fact, if she honed her skills with players better than the janitor from the orphanage all the time, she could have achieved this title at the age of 15.

    I agree with a lot of the comments this was a very interesting and unique Netflix series. It seemed like it was based on a true story even though we knew it wasn't. And I do agree that the young actress playing Beth did an amazing job and I think she did an even better job than the older Beth. The fact that they didn't have a lot of huge stars and tried to make it you know very Hollywood was the way to go and even though I didn't like chess and I don't play it it didn't matter because the writing and the acting was so amazing you didn't care if you like chess or not. It's one of those shows that you wish would never end and you kept hoping there was more episodes after each one. I know it ended well and in a good place but boy it would have been nice to have a few more episodes in between that and the scene in Russia.
