So, I’ve been interested in Chess for the longest time. Okay, maybe not exactly for the longest time. I think I had interest in at some point in high school, and then I dropped off because I may have felt I wasn’t smart enough for it? Which is totally a lie, anyway. This series, as you may have guessed, awakened that need in me to learn to play chess. Or something like that... The Queen’s Gambit (2020) Nine year old…More

This is not my first or second time watching The Queen’s Gambit, but it is my first time watching as a beginner chess player. The first few times I watched the series, I was just in awe of how the game works. It was my first time paying attention to what chess was about, but I totally forgot about my desire to learn because I had other pressing matters at that time. *About the series* The Queen’s Gambit is a 2020 se…More

When I was younger, I remember that I asked Santa for a chess board, since I was very interested in this game, although I had no idea how to play it, unexpectedly they gave it to me, and believe it or not I still have it, well it is missing some pieces, I don't know where they ended up.😆 The saddest thing of all is that I never learned, I only tried it once, but I don't know if it was because I was too young, or it…More

The game of chess is a world of its own: outsmarting your opponent by setting traps hidden in plain sight, as everything in this game is out in the open, you just need to notice it. For this reason, it can be just as exciting to follow some else's game, as it is to be in one. However, this is also why I never could imagine watching a film about chess, or how the same excitement could be transmitted in the story... u…More

Fuente If I were to ask a rhetorical question on the air about the five greatest players in the history of chess and, above all, their nationalities and facts about their lives and how they came to become geniuses in such a gruelling and challenging discipline as this "board game", it would probably be a question with very few answers. Not because it represents a mystery, but because the very history of chess itself…More

source source Hello everyone, This will be my first time writing a review and what makes me do so is because I love the game of chess so much. It's not the first movie to show chess on a world stage but this one stands out as you don't need to understand the game of chess before you watch it. It's almost a year since the series was made (October 23, 2020), However, I am writing this for those who haven't seen the mo…More
Bonsoir, Cette série est adaptée du roman "The Queen's Gambit", écrit par Walter Tevis. Ce titre est le nom d'une ouverture courante aux échecs qui se traduit par le Gambit Dame ou Gambit de la Dame. Je ne suis pas une grande adepte des jeux d'échecs, même si je connais les différents mouvements des pièces présentes sur un échiquier. Et je trouve que certains échiquiers sont d'ailleurs de réelles œuvres d'art. Ceci…More

In general, I usually watch series or movies after the hype. I found out about this series a few months ago but was reluctant to give it a try for the wrong reasons. Don't get me wrong, I'm not an arrogant snob who doesn't like mainstream filmmaking at all, but I do consider that at the top there are many worn-out movies and franchises that kill me with boredom and others that I will never be able to recognize as hi…More

Even though Netflix has an insane amount of content, not all of it is really good. But The Queen's Gambit is an excellent show. Really. I mean this show is pretty freaking unique. The show is based on a book with the same name written by Walter Tevis. It's not based on a real person, but it is very very loosely based on famous grandmaster Bobby Fischer. If you know a few things about his career, you might recognize…More

If I had to pick one thing you absolutely must watch on Netflix, it has be this one. The Queen's Gambit had me glued to my seat and I didn't even doze off. That's saying a lot. Apparently on Netflix for a limited time, I am glad I came across it. I wonder if the book is better because isn't that what they always say. Let me know if you have read it?
