I loved the way this story is told with humor and passion. The game is much more complex, competitive and skillful than most people realize. The eccentric characters made it colorful and entertaining. It was truly eye-opening to learn about this underworld of a board game and how it changes peoples lives. It takes you to different countries and in doing that it is interesting to see how other cultures live and what checkers means to them. The film makers have a special knack for uncovering a truly unique topic. That is what I look for when I watch documentaries. I want to learn about something, root for someone and be entertained. I can't wait to learn how to play checkers!
