The Queen's Gambit on Netflix

[Jesus X]

I just started episode 5. Isn't she supposed to be 17?

not sure how old she was by the end but she put a house in her name and was buying booze everywhere so she was probably at least 18 to do that.

drinking age in the 50's/60's was 21. I believe she is supposed to be around 19 or 20 by the end of the flick and the year is around 1968. It wasn't till the 70's the drinking age was dropped to 18. In the late 60's some states bounced around from 20 to 21yo

I'm guessing She had money and she looked mature/older than girls her age so getting booze wasn't a big deal for her

I like how at the end of episode 7 she's beloved by the Ruskies like the end of Rocky IV when Stallone wins the Cold War.

Like it. The show finally got me to take a look at the game. Finally found something I really suck at.
