Das Talent des Genesis Potini (2014)
Genesisi Potini war in seiner neuseeländischen Gemeinde eine Berühmtheit als weltweit erfolgreicher Speed-Schachspieler. Neben seinen sportlichen Erfolgen litt er aber gesundheitlich an einer bipolaren Störung, was ihn immer wieder an seine Grenzen brachte. Ein Ziel hatte er vor Augen, als er zusammen mit zwei Freunden einen Schachklub für benachteiligte Kinder gründete und die zunächst am Schachspiel nur begrenzt interessierten Jugendlichen für einen Wettkampf fit machte.
