Beth’s Harmon’s Final Chess Game | The Queen’s Gambit – Full Scene
In a 1950s orphanage, a young girl reveals an astonishing talent for chess and begins an unlikely journey to stardom while grappling with addiction.
This is one of my top 10 movies in my life.
I love the detail that in the start of the show she is dressed like a pawn and also moves straight like any pawn does at the start of the game whereas in the end she has been dressed like a queen and can decide any direction for her life now
My life as jobless genius in U.K.
Great scene.
Hands down this is one of the Best American Tv shows ever…no wonder why it bagged 11 Emmy awards 🙌🏾
He's classy guy.
It's me 👸 gambit based on my life story as an original
GREAT SERIES
This game is based on Bobby Fischer- Boris Spaasky. Spaasky even applauded after Fischer won too
Gives me goosebumps every time!
If this was an anime. They’d draw out this game over like 5 episodes. And then it’d turn into a shadow game
Not only they had a good storyline, actors, n music , the outfits are all georgeous
It's sad that this was basically about Bobby Fischer.
Next they're gonna change them pieces to Trans pawn, queen,king
I love how Borgov seems proud of Beth here. Not just because he loose against a great player but also because this time, Beth is at her best. The first time they met, she was a young girl, brilliant but not prepared to confront him and the second time, she was tired, exausted because of the night she spend to drink with Cleo. Here she is sobber, in peace with herself. He's proud because this time the game was loyal for both of them.
I really like the fact that this scene well illustrates the fact that if you are really, intensely passionate about the game of chess, you have a high probability of ending up old and poor.
This movie was based on the real life of Judith Pulgar. She is an absolute gem of a player, and a person.
I liked this contrast of Americans – telling her to go and christianize Soviets, warning her of any contact with Russians etc – and Russian players who showed respect, humbleness in the eyes of defeat, and actually treated her as an equal player, analyzing her games and working together (just as she was!) to defeat her. Last epi shows the contrast in perceived humanity – which was further emphasized by the last scene, when she is treated as a Pawn by her own government with invitation by POTUS – and as a Queen by Russian park grandpas, who invite her to a simple game of chess.
Loved this movie. So inspiring too.
Every once in a while, Netflix gets it right.
I loved all of this show but the amount of joy and respect delivered here from the Russians (including the grandmaster) always makes me well up.
the kind and respectful ruzzian has been replaced buy the brutish bully that they truly are….never to be respected again on the world's stage by any nation.
I can't believe she's the CV actress for Princess Peach For the Super Mario Bros. Movie!
She really splayed her poussé on the middle of that board and started squiting..what an absolute KWEEN!
I agree with Andrew Tate that this TV series was simply a fantasy to promote female "empowerment." He states the highest global ranking that a female chess player has attained is No. 50. He's wrong – the strongest female chess player of all time is Judit Polgár (born 23 July 1976), a Hungarian chess grandmaster who was ranked #2,735 in 2005.
In short, there is no correlation in this series to the real world, even though feminists insist that women can do anything men can, especially intellectually. Well, not in chess they can't. This was a well-produced propaganda piece.
Sgraem.
What an amazing show! Breaking bad is my number one. But i think this miniseries is just so powerfull because of Anna. The acting is incredible.
I'm just obsessed now. Cant say more. 😂
great show, too bad this is a make up story
Love this scene. Immediately wanted to play when it ended
Finale fantastico!
1960's/70's tournament chess, for players caught up in the Fischer boom, was intoxicating, Fischer is not mentioned in "The Queen's Gambit", Perhaps the heroine is supposed to be an idealized Bobby Fischer — that is, rational and primarily playing for love of the game. No director can capture the excitement of sitting at the board, not moving, staring, frozen for 10, 15 minutes, then making a series of moves in 15 seconds as the minute hand pushes the red flag up.
Some have commented that after winning, Ms. Harmon just asks to get out of the car at the park and runs into the group of elderly Russians, but a couple days earlier when she was arriving at her initial chess engagement, she sees the older men gathering to play in the park. There are echoes of her earlier mentorship in Mr. Scheibel (sp?)–the playing of chess for the love of the game.
Boris Spassky is a gentleman and a scholar!
listening to chess on a radio… damn, thats a whole new level of boredom.
I love how her attire in the end represents a queen chess piece. Cool little hidden detail.
This is by far, byyyyy far my favorite show of all time!! I don't care about Sopranos, Lost or Breaking Bad. This was absolutely spectacular series!!!
She's dressed like the white queen. She's giving back like Mr. Shiable did. She realized she owed everything to him and was throwing it away in the episode before. Had some help from Joliene as well. Last two episodes are great
How come she never had a southern accent?
She’s from Kentucky yet still has he same New York accent she has in Peaky Blinders..
говно лживое
I don't know anything about checkers but I still loved this series.
Great show, but let's be real. It's feminist nonsense. When I first watched it, I was impressed because I thought Beth was based on an actual person in history. Turns out it's all fiction. In reality, men have always dominated this game and once it again, it takes media to propel women to being greater than they actually are. No offense women. It's true though.
I never thought Beth Harmon beating a Russian in chess could be so satisfying and incredibly amazing to see.
I loved the show overall, but the outcome of that last game was kinda underwhelming. It was too easy, nice, neat.
In that final scene, I like to think that Netflix prescreened the series for the old folks just so they become a fan and genuinely greet her.
100/10 of a series. the deep emotions it gave me and the sympathy i felt towards the characters just, bravo 👏
Her CIA escort told Beth to let him know if Borgov tried to pass her a message – possibly about defecting, I suppose (a Chekov's gun if I ever saw one). I always thought there might have been something hidden in the king he gave her after his loss, since it was so conspicuous. Did she think the same thing I did but refuse to pass it on to the CIA? Maybe a hanging thread for season two if there had been one. Would she have become a spy and helped him escape from the USSR?
Naaaaaaaahhh!
She’s unmatched in chess, in exchange, she lost everyone she loved…
I wonder what yiu guys think of 4:08, when she looks directly into the camera, at us. It was a fascinating and risky editing choice, but I think it was one of the most touching parts of the series.
As a serious chess player for 50 years, I thought the rest of the serious was mostly decent (hit and miss in some places) but the last 30 minutes made it all worth it. And the ending was perfect.
Even though men are better at chess at the highest competitions the idea is shes a prodigy and thats allways possible like even though men have a higher bell curve for intelligance the current world record holder for IQ is a woman called Marilyn vos Savant
