Global TV Fanfare #1 (feat. Clarke Peters)

Walter: [Spoken]
This is Walter de Courcy reporting live for Global
Television.

The opening match of the 1979 World Chess
Championship is about to begin here in Merano, Italy.
The title will go to the first man who wins six games.
The players are the champion from the United States,
Frederick "Freddie" Trumper, and the challenger from
the Soviet Union Anatoly Sergievsky.

The political overtones of such a match between
a Russian and an American have created a great deal
of media attention from around the world.

And they're off.
