This is a documentary on Jannes van der Wal, former world champion checkers. He was a phenomenon, because he was not the typical checkers player. He answered questions in interviews in his own way by saying one word or no words at all. And he also recorded a record. But above all Jannes was a brilliant checkers player. And with this brilliance and his character he won the heart of many people. This documentary shows all the aspects of his life and is moving in moments. But also keeps you on the tip of your chair. Great documentary on someone who deserves this attention.
