The Chess Masters circa 1950 something...

Chess Masters from the 1950's.  For just a moment...Instead of going forward to 2012...take a trip backward.  Ernie Kovacs was a great comedian from T.V.'s early days.  In the attached clip, he presents the chess masters...

The chess part starts at 1:50 but I'd recommend watching it from the very beginning.

You will also notice that a young Burt Reynolds gets into the act.

Happy New Year!!
