This vintage black and white video captures a momentous event in the history of chess. The legendary Mikhail Tal, known for his aggressive playing style and brilliant tactical abilities, is shown playing against his opponent in a high-stakes game. As the tension mounts, Tal pauses for a moment to light a cigarette, a habit he was famously known for. In that moment, his opponent, perhaps intimidated by Tal's unwavering confidence, resigns the game, cementing Tal's status as one of the greatest chess players of all time. This short but captivating clip is a must-see for any chess enthusiast or lover of vintage footage.

"And he sacrificed his lungs"

[@RaqiGames]

While him lighting his cigarette looks normal. In reality he opened his domain using the motion of lighting the cigarette to open it. His opponent tried to retalliate by opening his own domain but it was too late. The entire stadium was in his domain, to avoid unnecesary bloodshed his opponent resigned

[@luizfelipemedeiros7506]

[@wlycdgrTheEverydayWorld]

I am sure it was known, ...but maybe only by the cigarette companies
