Synopsis

A documentary about professional chess player Jaan Ehlvest and his daily life in a harsh world of professional sports where every result influences one's income and subsistence. The protagonist questions whether it is worth living a life where between championships he keeps running through different American cities and staying in hotels that look exactly the same. So it is not that much a sports documentary but rather a view into a development story of a talented and willful man.
