Finally my book also briefly describes the rise of the checkers prodigies Harm Wiersma and Ton Sijbrands in the years when Baba Sy’s play level was at the peak. However, those who want to go into deep analysis of Baba Sy’s games need to buy the book of Ton Sijbrands (Baba Sy, Le Grand Livre de Baba Sy 1989). This book should be considered a historical book, as it is the draughts career of Baba Sy. We tend to say that a man who cannot read nor write is an illiterate, but now we understand that no part of him was uneducated or ignorant, he simply had no chance to go to school. A dialect spoken in his hometown Donaya, Wolof, which is Senegal's official language, Arabic, and French.

Baba Sy did not need books - he had everything in his memory and was a very smart person. They memorized the Koran and other books. Back then people did not need books, as they had everything in their memory. How is this possible for a man who had never seen a book and used to play on another checkers board in 1959 with the long diagonal at the right to suddenly be almost the best in the world in 1960 and the best in the world in 1963? Now I have the answer to this question, since I wrote in 2015 a work about the Sufi mystic Ibn Sab’in (1217-1270) from Ricote Valley.
