Walter: [Spoken]
There has been a sensational development in the
very first fame of the World Chess Championship
here is the snow-covered Tyrolean town of Merano,
Italy.

The board and pieces have been thrown to the ground
in disgust by one or the other or both of the players.
The world champion Freddie Trumper has stormed out
in a rage. It looks personal.

Trumper has demanded that Sergievsky apologize for
making him walk out. Unless someone bangs their heads
together, the championship could be abandoned after just
one game.
