This 12-minute tribute remembers the life and legacy of the Dutch Grandmaster Jan Timman, who passed away far too soon.

Swedish chess enthusiast Björn Knöppel shares a warm and personal account of meeting Timman in 1972–73, at a time when Timman was still an International Master. He recalls Timman’s impressive victory at the international Rilton Cup in Stockholm, a tournament that marked an important step in Timman’s remarkable chess career.

A heartfelt remembrance of a great player, seen through personal memories and the spirit of chess friendship.
