“The scene where she goes down to the basement and finds all of Mr. Shaibel's memorabilia was incredible.”

“The ending broke me 💔Mr. Shaibel’s photos and newspaper clippings of Beth on the wall 💔Beth never visiting Shaibel before his death and then crying while holding the photo of young Beth and Shaibel together 💔Beth clearly did not deserve Beltik, Benny, the Twins, Townes, Jolene but they helped her selflessly anyway 💔Jolene is such a badass. Her digging Beth out of the hole when she worked so hard for everything she earned was so wholesome 💔Shaibel finally got international press credit when Beth became world champion but he was not around to see it 💔The final scene of Beth playing chess for enjoyment again and not judgement/competition”
