Chess - Global TV Fanfare No.1 (feat. Clarke Peters) lyrics

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.
