Title: Possibly the Best Turkish Draughts Player Ever

This Arab guy's amazing http://www.akilli.tv/video/408781/Dama-boyle-oynanir.aspx

Before you check it out, you should know something about Turkish Draughts (checkers). The essential differences are, you play orthogonally not diagonally and the kings are "flying kings". Read more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draughts

Not to put too fine a point on it, and he's performing an amazing combination, but we don't know whether he found it there and then, do we. And if every player who ever performed similar magic in say International Draughts were to be crowned the "possible best Draughts player ever", then it wouldn't be exactly lonely, at the top ;-)
