true
you invented the bad move c6 for black 
Never played chess in my life until Queens Gambit, loved the show and living Chess
Question: was the Russian guy with the goofy grey hair in the final episode based off of anyone. It sounds by his play style like it may have been Tal, but I don’t know enough about the grandmasters of yore.
I LOVE THE QUEENS GAMBIT
it's a good show but the lack of chess content in it is disturbing, I did play the queen's gambit more often after the show though. It is indeed a gambit, probably the reason why Elizabeth never plays it, with the exception of the last game. I loved how the show's title is more of a wordplay tho.
I used to play, many years ago. Then nursing school got in the way and it fell to the wayside. Thanks to this show I'm playing again. I'm actually sad its over.
Yes. Novice at chess, enjoyed the series. Learning on this site / app. Getting ready to get my butt kicked on head-to-head matches
The show inspired me to learn so I’m playing everyday now. I hope to beat my bro soon 💪💪

It rekindled my love of chess after being non active for about 10 years, I’m having a lot of fun here!

The only real hero of chess in the 60's is Fischer.
Fischer games have inspired me.
I read a sample of the queens gambit and there is some swearing so I stopped.
Yes you're right. People who write cause instead of cos are to blame.
Writing "cause" as an abbreviation of "because" Is pedantic, illogical and ambiguous, all at the same time. It shows an unfamiliarity with English, because we naturally read "cause" as the noun it correctly is and definitely not as a conjunction, which it isn't. Secondly, if we are to abbreviate "because", it naturally abbreviates to "cos" and anything else is pedantic and really quite ugly and inharmonious to read.
All this causes swearing.

You object to the original poster's use of the word "cause".

Who else is here cause of The Queens Gambit?
It's not pedantic. The sentence may be ambiguous, as we found out in post #2, but the use of "cause" is not pedantic.
From Webster's:
Pedantic is an insulting word used to describe someone who annoys others by correcting small errors, caring too much about minor details, or emphasizing their own expertise especially in some narrow or boring subject matter.
/ If anything, you are being pedantic.
/ Me too.
