Isla Johnston “young Beth” in my opinion deserves more recognition for playing the role so perfectly putting in mind how young she is. Her acting skills is incredible she was the reason I got so interested to watch the full story
Same I was blown away especially the pills scene. Too real.
@@strugglingcollegestudent she is talented.. her skills shouldn’t be taken as granted. Kids like her should get full support and attention
@@lailaalnuaimi856 yeah she has the kind of talent that can't be taught in acting classes. Raw, natural talent.
I think that her parents want her out of the spotlight because she is still very young and they don't want to expose her :]
@@evasummers7454 I totally understand being a parent myself.. Her family will never think but the best for her she is already exposed to spotlights in Hollywood by now they already figured the pros and cons of popularity
Isla Johnston play the role of young Beth really well, she really mark the success of Beth character development. I especially love the part where she stole the jar of blue pills
Weren’t they green?
@@samulert yes they were
When you’re colour blind..they’re green mate
@Anonymous fine but I am editing it to “you’re”
@@ollieengel-hill4001 lol
What made this show so great is that they’re playing real games, it was all choreographed by a master chess player who was the show’s consultant. It added intensity to the chess scenes.
All too often in movies you see a chessboard in a library of some supposed smart guy to hint at his intelligence, and the pieces are all wrong because someone just put them there without knowing anything about chess. I'm glad they did better in this one.
yes, it took them literally years to find a 9yo actress who was capable of playing a beating 12 people simultaneously.
Not master but GM and the former World Champ, Gary Kasparov. He selected the real games for the show played by GM's and IM's. One of the players was the great GM Leonid Stein from Kiev, Ukraine who was 3 times USSR champ back in the 1960's...
Someone was smart enough to realize that if you're going to make a movie about a chess prodigy, all those nerdy chess players are going to watch and know and instantly disrespect you if you screw up. You have to make the sport/activity/profession/etc. the star. The actors are just filler. It's a very hard lesson for the entertainment industry to learn. They usually get it backwards and make the activity the filler and make the actors the stars ("It's all about the drama!")
@@jfan4reva Actually in Queen's Gambit. It is all about drama and Beth's head but they managed to have the perfect amount of chess in it. Hollywood should take notes
Why does nobody talk about the younger Beth Harmon cause she acted really good and Anya Taylor joy was ofcours also good but the younger one nailed it
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.
Honestly, like I’m my opinion I think her performance made the show even better.
yeeees
She stole my heart.
@@hubertvancalenbergh9022 me too. I can't wait to see her in other films
I like how Beth still a child with that chocolate smudge even though her brain is totally on another level
I love that part too. Amazing series
Yeah, that was a sweet added touch.
Yes, even gifted children still has the emotional development like any other child (even though they can actually be more emotionally immature sometimes).
It was cute
She wasn't that strong at that age tho.
2:04 "A few of them tried stupid mating attacks."
Every girl said that at least once in her life
LOL!
___
lol, wow, you rock so much. did not notice. what a gem!
I always thought she said “baby attacks”
I object!.. they're not stupid, just Ill timed....
Just once?
The fact that no one talks about the little Beth makes my heart a little sad as she played an important part in the series and provide the right direction to the character of adult/teenager Beth.
Edit: thanks for the likes guys
she is fantastic
Agreed. She literally carried the first, fundamental, episode.
I guess her parents wish her to not be wellknown, so she can keep some privacy, being still a school child.
I wish I could have seen her more in the series.
Plenty of people are talking about her.
“It’s an entire world of just 64 squares” ❣️
But that one World is surrounded by 12 more such worlds in this video
I agree
Cheesy line
Making up a solar system
« 64 squares, they’re the reason you know you exist »
Frederick Trumper, from ‘Chess The Musical’
The sad part was that Beth never knew just how happy and proud Mr. Shaibel was of her, until after he died, and she found all of the newspaper clippings of her accomplishments. Gotta admit, I teared up a little on that. He was the father she never knew she had.
The fact that Isla Johnson was not mentioned for a Golden Globe Awards® nomination baffles me. Anya was super at her role, but younger beth was significantly moving as well! Isla did a hell of a job with that role! I hope we get to see more of that young woman's work.
The reason she didn't win a Golden Globes award is because Golden globes awards are fixed and are bought and paid for.
I played a Grandmaster like this back in the day along with 19 other players. He beat us all. Then he played the best among us with his back to the board, essentially blindfolded. He won that, too, then went up to the board and replayed the whole game for us from memory, showing us how he beat him.
What was you rating back them.
@@heyman373 I was just like the dorks from the film. I was in a middle school chess club, so I was nothing special.
amogus
He played what with his back to the board?
@@Dairunt1 He beat our best player without ever being able to see the board.
She destroyed them. And then had a box of chocolate
Haha... well deserved treat ..
Life is like a box of chocolate
And mr Shaibel's just sitting there, thinking 'Geez, little girl, you dont even realise what you just did!"
He knew she had talent, as she soaked in Shaibel's advise like a dry sponge on water, but that she was so incredible? Beating a 12-headed chess-club in 1h20, of which 'their top-player', she had locked in 15 and checkmate in a total of 21 moves is in-sane!
@@ivanoschen Good reference
It is not a real person so what is so amazing about some fictional character winning? It is like comparing who would win: Batman or Superman.
One of the best series Netflix ever produced! Harmon indeed is an iconic character and Anya Taylor and this kid nailed her role.
Amazing series I have watched it full loved it 😀
Very precisely ❤️🔥
@@indrakshisaha8280 yes
Cannot agree more. Indeed it's a very good series.
@Andrew only kind of?
You know as a born Russian me watching the entire episodes in 3 days and giving a resounding applause ..I am not easy to please but this is hands down the greatest series on netflix I have ever watched!
My favorite parts were with the Russian people. They were so sweet cheering her on and the Russian grandpas that played chess with her so cute
@@strugglingcollegestudent that one got me to tears and I hate to admit it
May I ask is it true that Russian are indeed good in chess?
@@wongkengmun1103 I would say yes and there are ton of chess parks for anyone so it's almost a thing one does in Russia - but I have played against others in other countries and have come across very good players. Then again it's case by case but as a whole it's a Russian pastime.
@@wongkengmun1103 For dozens of years there has been a "russian school", they have nearly made chess a science, and had several famous world champions.
SU57 was too humble to say that, I guess.
Today the world of chess (and economy and science etc) is more widely open and other countries have "produced" top players (China, USA, Norway = country of the current world champ Magnus Carlsen).
Isla Johnston and Anya Taylor-Joy were simply amazing. It's not common to see a mini series this good but there we are. Queen's Gambit is a masterpiece
Surely this series has to win awards when they come around.

Did anyone said same when she said “ It felt good, I never won anything before” ?
this girl:
destroyed 12 chess players all at once
and then had chocolate
what kind of savagery is this
May be in that society ,at that time they consider the victory is a small achievement or the level of thinking Is not much higher as compared to that society.
Savagery of the sweetest kind.
Chess is a game where, if your opponent is vastly superior in skill, it is a near insurmountable mountain to climb. You just don't get lucky because the mistakes they make are likely to be above your comprehension to take advantage of.
what's she meant to have, buttered scones?
It's feminazi fiction.
What an amazing actress. Even during this scene you still feel like crying for her. You can feel the damage she had to endure, and you're reminded of how young she still is. Oscar worthy.
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.
Wow appreciate this comment fascinating culture.
Big respect for that, truly
Wow, I saw Bruce Springsteen in Providence in 1975, I think it was around the same time as the Harvest Open.
Soo confident tht girl is omg
Seems like she won Chess championship since birth
Totally gonna watch it !! 🤯
Please watch it! You'll love it
You must watch it..
The best Netflix show ever. The actress playing Beth as,a young girl was amazing...
Would love to see an interview with her, cause she was beyond AMAZING!
The screen writers were themselves "master" writers. If you think about it, the dialogue is epic.
And of course, all of that fantastic music was the icing on the cake!!
Most of the dialogue is lifted straight from the novel.
@@paulsynnott2709 Good to know. Thx.
Tue the dialogue is stupendous. Especially dialogues with Jolene and Benny. Want to find the source of all this true genius? Read the Hustler and the color of money. Walter Tevis.
were they masters or "masters"?
I hope Isla Johnston will get more iconic roles soon!!! She did an amazing job as young Beth.
I never understood Chess but this series was masterfully crafted. 👏🏻
The casting throughout the whole movie for this film blew me away. They did such a great job and the little girls acting was impeccable.
One of the best show I watched that I started accidently. This promo should have been made much prior than today. Best limited series show ever.
what does limited series means?
@@69nadyacole69 When writer pitches their ideas and scripts to the producers at Netflix. They then decide if the idea, concept should be made in a limited form or in a way that can be expanded. Limited series are planned and budgeted in a way where they usually don't have many sequals.
Lo Xx hod es
Long ago, I was one of 16 boards against Sofia Polgar when she was in her teens. She crushed us all. I was 4th last to be crushed. ...A beautiful experience that I'll never forget.
Still can't move on about how good The Queen's Gambit is! It made me play chess again after a long while
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.
Isla Johnston is the actress playing Beth in this scene.
It stinks that she is rarely credited in clips of her.
I like watching the crowd gather to watch. Even a jock in his "letter" shirt comes to watch.
what is the difference between a letter shirt and a "letter" shirt?
I read the book as a young man sometime in the 80's and thought it would be a great movie. Better late than never.
I love that her character is a genius chess player. Yet, still a kid with chocolate smudged on her face.
She's realizing just how flawed adults really are.
when did he realize flaw of adults?
This was truly a masterpiece probably the best original drama of Netflix
This show will be a big part in Chess history. I'm not surprised a future Grandmaster will say she/he's inspired by this show.
maybe the first woman who will be world champion
@@schattelux1454 never sadly
why?@@dominusdone5023
i think you are really overstating
This show is bullshit and has nothing to do with Chess history.
One of the greatest ever. This series will be talked about a long time from now.
LEGEND says she is Sagar Shah's PARAUD Student.
Exactly 😂❤️
😂😂
Lol😂
You needed ONE more iconic line for this vid. “Here, you can have the rest.”
wow she can take it, what a champ
super relevant comment. totally worth the bot's time.
On many levels I cannot get enough of this series! And I cannot play chess! Beautiful series!
Are you familiar with forex trading?Are you familiar with forex trading.
What is this idiot on about ?
Chess is my favorite game for a number of reasons, but number 1 is: there's nothing hidden (like in Texas Hold'Em Poker, for example) and no dice / nothing random, like Backgammon or Monopoly. It's all right there in front of you... you just have to see it.
there are special people among us. some will never be "discovered" . if you meet someone like this. keep them safe.
Excellent series... Isla Johnston was superb as the young Beth Harmon!!!
The most beautiful thing in this world is to see your parents smiling, and knowing that you are the reason behind that smile.
r/cursedcomments
This girl is an orphan.
@@middlemistgrey I feel like Mr. Shaibel was the closest thing she had to a father in her life.
@@Empressoftheflames yeah, I feel the same.
Um yeah, this really isn't true for a lot of people 🙄
It's heartbreaking how the reporters didn't publish Beth's acknowledgement of Mr. Shaibel in their interviews.
"Remember this day, gentlemen, and in 20 years you can say you once played against Beth Harmon."
She's a pretty good actress.
I really love her facial expressions and her voice
One of the best shows produced in the past 10 years
The Top player Charles is now the Janitor at the orphanage
If this isn't the best Netflix has ever put out, it has to be in everyone's top 5.
Sex education tho.
Meh bullshit feminism show
I've just rewatched the series and just realised if she was adopted earlier and had supportive adoptive parents, she could have become a world champion at a younger age.
True, but if she was adopted too early, she might not have met Mr. Shaible at all.
@@Hailey_Paige_1937 I meant for her to still meet Mr. Shaible, but to be adopted slightly earlier. She was adopted at 15. If she was adopted at 9-10 she would have met Mr.Shaible and still be a chess prodigy.
@@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.
It's like a Western, where the stranger kills the town bandits
The show's director was actually inspired by Westerns.
No it isn't.
Best series ever!!! I wonder why i watched it so late. Glad that i finally did ❤
Was having an exam but this seems more important!😁😂
yadi aap mere channel ko subscribe krenge to aapke maa baap 💯 saal jiyengee
@@dineshpilania4144 arararrarararararar
This is one of my favourite scenes
It was really a heart breaking scene in the series final episode when she visits orphanage to attend Mr Shaibel funeral and found her wall of fame in the basement. It is the first time in the series when she breakdown in the car.
I love her so much. I forget if it says in the show whether or not she has Aspergers or something similar, but I related a ton to her mind, and I feel like she gives some awesome representation to the weird deep thinkers out there. You don't often see women portrayed with this kind of thing, so this show is super refreshing and exhilarating on the mind. If you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend it, Beth is awesome.
That girl is an amazing actress
At the end of this scene when Beth says, "I never won anything before." it is with such a downcast muted response instead of with emotional joy that it highlights how little joy there has been in her life that she doesn't know how to emote or share it when it happens.
When we saw Beth tapping the point of her shoe on the floor you knew that she knew that she had this under control.
actually i thought it made her look nervous
I love how those 17 year old boys resigned
from a little girl like Beth
I love these series ;)
An absolute masterpiece 👏
I started watching it 2 days before and it has amazed me like no other....I really love this series a lot..Great Work😍
The greatest and funniest thing: She told Mr. Shaible how she did with that sweet chocolate-smeared face like "I just shaved them off one on another!" :-D
These high school chess students learned what it’s like playing against a gifted player. It was a learning experience to say the least
Younger Beth looks a lot like that girl from Narmia!
The young lady did a great acting job
This series was such a joy to watch
The scene is a masterclass in editing
None of Anya's mastery would be as significant without Isla Johnson.
This is a great series and parallel Beth's life.
When i was 15, i played over 200 games against a grandmaster, only won once. The practice mixed with his teachings made me pretty much unstoppable, as noone has beaten me since, and im 36 now. This was a good scene, i like it.
I'm glad Beth fought Gotham chess
“Look! That girl is playing 12 people at once, she must be a genius!”
People: “Checkmate.” X 12
Girl: “Damn.”
This show was a masterpiece
It was simply genius. We had watched the 7 episodes in a breath.
Many years ago, when I was a senior in high school, I was asked to help with an elementary school chess club of kids up to 3rd grade I ended up playing simultaneous chess against about 15 or so 6-9 year olds. I was not at all unhappy when they had to go home on the bus. I seem to remember leaving at least one or two losing positions behind.😳
Isla Johnston was astoundingly good.
This was a terrific movie, great acting specially the young Beth.
Queens Gambit is one of Netflix's best series, it was just a marvel. Everyone was able to fall in love with Beth harman, and also root for her as world champion.
Beth casually eating chocolate is such a power move
“A few of them, tried stupid mating attacks.. but I took care of them” 😂
A very well made show I enjoyed thoroughly!
"Nona Gaprindashvili" was FAR better than Beth. Also She sued Netflix about manipulating her chess history.
She sued for one allegedly defamatory statement. It was settled quietly.
The best series in the world 😍😍👌🏻💯
Hay everybody this little girl is kicking the chess clubs a$$!
yes you have accurately described the obvious content of this short video. Good job!
I'm certain many children auditioned for the role of young Beth and Isla Johnston got the part which is no small feat and watching her work I understand why....
such a good first episode. can't wait to finish this series!
Did you finish it yet?? It’s fantastic !!
@@Hailey_Paige_1937 Yep. Amazing series
Isla Johnston didn't receive more credit for her amazing performance as young Beth because Anya Taylor Joy hit such a grand slam home run with her own award winning performance.
Absolutely brilliant series, I hope there’s never a sequel
At last, someone who realizes that a story well told is complete.
Yes, if this were network tv, there would be sequels to keep the cash rolling in. Sequels with increasingly absurd plots as the writers slowly run out of ideas, and when they're completely out of ideas, there will be another two seasons....
She opens with e4 here, which means she is not playing the Queens gambit. I don’t know that she ever plays the Queens gambit through the show. It’s a simple opening:
1)d4 , d5
2)c4
If I remember correctly the writers reserved it for the shows climax where Beth faces the world champion. I believe the writers intended it as symbolism of her overcoming the historical gender-divide of chess, represented by winning with the queens pawn rather than the more popular kings pawn open. Your interpretation may vary.
@@minerbean Yeah she looks like an only e4 player with her style. She might've 'tried out' d4 in the final game or something
She plays queens gambit in the final chess game.
It’s a metaphor as well as an opening.
She played the Queen's gambit in her last game with Borgov.
I love this show so much. It was very nice! It's nice to see the woman against all the men. The adult Beth Harmon is so beautiful and graceful!
The show is brilliant.
Nothing about this show was a let-down. I felt so much of it. I waited years to watch it, just because i dont jump on "new" or "hype." Well, im glad i watched it, it brought tears to my eyes several times.
My favourite series after stranger things.
Truly amazing
Am I the only one who thinks Mr. Ganz at the beginning says, "Take your sheets" rather than "Take your seats"?
I like how the show acknowledged but never obsessed over her gender. Star Wars and Marvel seem to think that beating you over the head is the best approach.
refreshing
I coundn't agree more!
@@cleversonsutil4495 even with the letter "L"?
It is a good movie. I watch it over and over. My friend always have something to say about watching it so many times.
You have a friend?
