In a completely lost position the rising star Mikhail Tal pulls off a brilliant swindle and manages to give a perpetual check in a game against the 7th World Chess Champion Vasily Smyslov! Seeing Tal’s Rook sacrifice on h1- square Smyslov who was normally imperturbable at the board, thought for 3 minutes and then after making his next move slammed the clock with furious force. But even so he could not escape from perpetual check!
