Shout out to David for the title suggestion!

I actually played a lot of chess as a child - and after watching the show I bought a chessboard and started again.
Same here! Still play corespondance daily.
Same!
Judit Polgar was women’s chess champion for 25 years until she retired. She was the youngest grandmaster ever at 15. And was a Candidate for the men’s championship. I had mistakenly thought that the story was based on Judit’s life.
This is some top quality stuff, keep it up bro
Thank you kindly! Glad you liked it! :)
This is the first time I'm hearing of this show. Might check it out.
Oh, you should! It's complete with an actual ending and all! No cliffhangers for another season or anything. Big recommend.
Yeah you should watch it, it's dope.
Greatest miniseries ever, I watched it 4 times and read the book
Thanks for all the kind words! Glad so many of you liked the video!
Great stuff! Fun and insightful :)
Much appreciated Daniel, thanks for tuning in! Glad you liked the video :)
@@CultureVultureMedia1 .
Great work with video!
Glad you enjoyed it
After 0:33 I was so hoping you'd made some videos on The Expanse :')
How this channel has not hundreds of thousands of view? Keep up the good work
Thanks Domenico, I really appreciate the kind words! :)
I did start playing chess after watching Queen's Gambit!
That's amazing!
another great video 🔥
Thanks Bonzo! Glad you liked it!
Did you watch the Queen's Gambit?
It was like Rounders for poker or Fast and The Furious for young punk kids street racing or just hanging out at Jack in the box parking lot at 2 am with your car club
Haha, good comparison :P
Gotham Chess is also a great YT channel
Loved the Queen's Gambit.
Thank you!
For those looking amazing chess content, I highly recommend the channels *Partidas Inmortales de Ajedrez* and *Rey Enigma*
Nice one! Thanks for the recommendations :)
I just finished watching this 2 days ago. I loved it 😍, it was dope. I didn't start play chess though lol.
I had a feeling you'd like it! :D
This is great video! Cmon yt algorithm!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it :D
Nothing says female empowerment like making up a charecter that's really good at chess to show women can be really good at chess too!
Female empowerment works in mysterious ways
Love it
Good stuff
Thank you! Glad you liked it :)
Dude are you one them geniuses?
I'm barely 1700-rated, so definitely not a genius :P
@@CultureVultureMedia1 Still very impressive. I am only 1400 and Play chess since years.
"Geeks and old people". The only cooler more politically astute person outside of my chess playing arse, is Bobby Fischer
Great content, book was good too.
Glad you liked it! :D
As a book-reader, what did you think of the adaptation? :)
@@CultureVultureMedia1 yep, I love your videos, they are so awesome. So, I think this is the most perfect adaption of the source material, one of the best, if not ever. You have to understand, I fell in love with the series first abd I was pretty much still in love with Beth and the love she has for her game, I wanted more of her world. Book is well written and does a good job of filling up the blanks, and it was nice to stay in her for a while.
@@CultureVultureMedia1 I think it of was one of the rare instances in which the adaptation was superior to the original.
@@asgharabbas2193 That's cool. I might have to pick up the book then :D
@@elonif4125 doesn't happen a lot!
"...the growing demand for chess content." This is a string of words I never thought I'd hear! Society has become so dumbed down with reality TV and social media and... uh... chess???
Your whole point about female representation confuses me. Especially the George Orwell part.
The show resulted in more girls trying out chess, it's pretty straightforward :)
The 1984 reference was with regards to the motto of that chess café that wanted to "encourage chess to everyone, especially women", which sounds a lot like how the pigs in 1984 wanted all animals to be equal, but some more equal than others.
@@CultureVultureMedia1 That's Animal Farm, not 1984.
@@BekeroParyin Haha yes, got my own reference wrong there x)
Comment even better :)
Don't get me wrong, I'd love for culture to make women more interested in chess and other 'men hobbies' but the Queens gambit didn't really do it well. The protagonist is too much a 'mary sue', and she doesn't act like a smart person. More like an idiot savant, but with a normal IQ..
Naroditsky has the best chess channel btw, I agree.
I think the numbers are hard to argue with, but you are right in that it would have probably been even better if Beth were less of a Mary-Sue :)
@@CultureVultureMedia1 Oh yeah it definitely made chess more popular, no doubt about that, but with 'doing it well' I was referring to real passion, not mere popularity. Being seen as talented, intelligent, meeting hot dudes at chess tournaments.., etc. are all possible extrinsic motivations. The series didn't really portray intrinsic motivations for liking chess, or doing any other hobby of the same sort, other than as an escape. The beauty and delight of competence at a skilful task (& focussing on it to an obsessive degree) is what drives people to become really good at something, if they have the innate potential for it.
@@mouwersor That's a good point!
The people who made the show and Netflix as well is being sued, the pretty much took a womans life story without talking to her, the family, not giving credit or well money to them, they even used her real name... in fact the real woman was more impressive if I remember right.
The lawsuit is a Georgian Grandmaster who was wrongly cited as having never faced men in competitions. But neither the book nor the show is actually based on her :)
This show gives the layman the impression that women are good at chess. This is not the case
Hahaha whamen
It is your narrow minded opinion that chess is portrayed as a game for geeks and old people.
