this reminds me of the old man who first taught messi to play football

It's a pretty crappy thing that she basically completely forgot about this guy, used him to get some money, then never talked to him again and he died never getting to see her again.

You never forget the first person who believed in you.

I rarely cry at media, but this. Fuck, this got me.

CRYING 😭😭😭😭😭

Beth Harmon was adopted at age 15 in 1963, and Mr. Shaibel died in 1968.

anyone knows the song being played in the background?. Just lost my father and want to play this song on repeat

Single most emotional moment in the series IMO.

She never knew Shaibel kept such a record of her, she broke down realizing she wished she had kept in touch better, to update him on her chess performances almost like a father she never had. What an intense and tragic moment.

she never even paid him back

never cried so hard. never will cry so hard again.

Anyone know the music in this🙏

it’s too good to met the good teacher in the limited lifetime. At least, her new mother and Shaibel encouraged Beth to live her life confidently and bravely.

Beth really ended up with one great father and one great mother despite being an orphan. If only she'd had more time with them

does anyone know the music at the beginning?

Later at her press conference in Russia she names Shaibel and asks the press to print his name. It was her chance to repay the debt.

Imagine what he truly have done to her in that basement 🤦‍♂️

She should have taken the entire collection of clippings he had saved.

I really wish there had been a post-credit scene after the last episode where Beth went to the cemetery and left a $5 bill and the king from her game with Borgov at Mr. Shaibel’s grave.

Essa cena me pegou

There may be some, but I don't know anyone who didn't cry at this scene. I cried like a little baby.

If you think about it, Beth never really had a good parental figure in her life except for Shaibel. Her mom tried to kill her and herself, her adoptive father was a piece of shit. Her adoptive mother is a good person at heart, but she was clearly troubled and their relationship evolves into more of a business partnership once her chess potential is discovered, so there’s a little bit of transaction involved there. But Shaibel? He recognized Beth’s chess potential early, teaches her chess, gives her praises often, gives Beth the 10 dollar she needed to kickstart her career, and never once asked it back, or even asked for her attention. For all those years, he sat in that basement quietly keeping track of her career like a proud father, and possibly even play through her games alone in that basement to admire its beauty. It’s such a selfless act that really makes Beth realize how much she was loved by him, and he is the father she always wanted (and now lost). That’s likely why she broke down crying here, and not when her adoptive mother died or even her own mother.

Make time for the Mr Shaibels in your life, they're gone sooner than you think.

What's is the name of the song? Please.

Well I came back with both kidneys

Young people can mean so much to older people. The young are all wrapped up in their little lives and it doesn't occur to them that the older people have lives too. To the young people they tend to take it for granted that the older people will always be there - because the older people always were there when they were children. Until ... the older person dies and the younger person is always surprised that that could happen - and it's then - after it's to late, that they realize how much the older person meant to them. I'm certain that Beth always intended to pay him back the $10 she owed him. She was just so busy with her how life, it just never crossed her mind that he was going to die before she got around to it. .

Because of this show I have learned that smoking is bad. And that playing chess in the basement is the perfect place to find new friends.

no matter how many times I watch this scene it always makes me cry

Right in the feels.

Beth's crying, and I'm crying, whenever I see this scene.

I rarely cry at movies. But I do to this scene. And Hatchiko

We cry in this scene cause we all want somebody like Mr saibel in our lives inspite of not being her biological father he was there for her throughout

Hildegard von Bingen, was für eine Musik❤

I don’t think a movie ever made me cry since I was a kid, this scene truly hit me.

The first time since her mother that she felt truly loved.

I don't know if there is any significance to this, but when she goes into the basement she sits in Mr. Shaibel's chair. If she had sat in "her" chair, she probably would not have seen the board.

She was a selfish asshole for never going back to visit him.

God this scene destroys me everytime I watch it.

anyone know what song is played in the beginning

1:56 😭😭😭

i loved this moment it was a turning point for beth and kinda like a realization

He didn't teach her to play because he thought she would be great. He taught her because she was capable of learning. Great men plant a seed, knowing they will never see the tree grown.

I loved that following this moment, when being interviewed in Moscow she made a point to immortalise Mr Shaibel in the press as the man who taught her to play chess, so that he would be remembered.

This scene broke me

i never cry during any series but this scene is just-

This shit always makes me cry 😭 he was so proud of her 😭😭😭

I cried like a baby with that scene.....that never happens

beth owed him $10. but when she went to the basement she realised she owed him everything

I have seen this more than 15 times, and I cry every time!

When beth went to the funeral she thought "oh I owed him 10 dollars", but when she went to the basement she thought"I owed him my career and my life", this is arguably the best mini series that I have ever watched, really great cast and great writing
