Treasure Chess

THIS

is one of the greatest commercials of all time(/my childhood)

it almost made me want to join the Marines or learn chess or play outdoors in armor when it’s thundererering and lightninginging.  I never did none of that stuffs :(

it’s the Marine Corps ‘Chess’ ad created by J Walter Thompson in 1991
