The Queens Gambit 1x3

Comments

haha maybe my queer insight but i clocked it immediately

Vanessa

I didn't the first time I watched either, it's obvious in hindsight but easy to miss

Emi Wan

dont think you clocked roger and towns relationship dynamic....

Vanessa

Yes, which is why Beth is bitter after bc she could tell, and roger takes his shirt off to kinda ”mark his territory”. I assume Townes is bi and roger could tell he was being too flirty with Beth

ke

isnt roger townes boyfriend though?

Wow I've watched this show a couple times and was always confused by this, thank you!

Just wanted to clarify that Beth did lose to Benny, not draw. They reason the shared the title and prize money was because of how points are distributes in chess tournaments. You get 0 points for losing, 0.5 points for a draw and 1 point for winning. So when Beth mentions Benny having 2 draws going into their match, and her having all wins that means- that lets say they played 14 games total: Beth went into their match with 14 points, whilst Benny only had 13 (12 wins + 2 draws). Thus Beth would have won the tournament if they had drawn (14.5 point to 13.5 points) but because she lost and got 0 points, they both ended on 14 points and had to split the winnings.

The actor who plays Benny Watts has been in many thing, I know him from movies like Nanny McPhee, love actually and the maze runner franchise !

Bangtan is life

She is 15 when she first meets Townes in 1963. When she meets him again at the U.S opens in las vegas it is 1966, hence she is 18. Still feels a bit weird with Townes though lol

Also from Maze Runner!

As many have mentioned, Benny's actor is in GOT as Jojen- he was also on the cover of the chess magazine last ep and you called him Harry Styles and it gave me such a laugh

Hedda Dybvadskog

You probably recognized the actor of Benny from Game of Thrones. He plays Jojen Reed who goes beyond the Wall with his sister Meera and Bran.

The actor of Benny, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, is the voice actor of Ferb in the cartoon series Phineas and Ferb.... but I doubt you meant that...

I love experiencing this show again with you. I haven’t rewatched it since it came out, and I’m noticing so many things I didn’t the first time, which just makes it even better. Also, the actor who plays Benny was Jojen in GOT!
