Jun-03-05		laskerdog: 18.Qe2!! Tal has already ordered Banniks coffin

Jun-03-05		hartkoka: but what would Tal do if black play 18....[Q]xc3?

Jun-03-05		JohnBoy: Looks to me like after 18...Qxc3 white has 19.Nd2 winning a piece (either the attacked knight or the cornered bishop with 20.Nc4).

Jan-04-06		aw1988: Note not 28. Qxd6?? Rxf2+!

Jun-09-07		jokerman: these are the kind of moves i need to see quicker! 28) Qb8+ Kh7 29)Qb1+!... 30) Qxa2 amazing or 28) Qb8+ Ne8 29) Qxe8+ Kh7...

Jan-28-10		Ratul: Talk about trying a queen sac on the master of queen sacs!

Jan-02-11		64rutor: 18...Bxc3 [18...Qxc3 19.Bc1 Bxc1 20.Rxb8 g6 21.Rb3, Paata Gaprindashvili in his book "Imagination in Chess".]

Nov-07-12		Naniwazu: Bannik wasn't a weak player: five-time Ukranian champion and seven-time qualifier for the USSR championship. In this game though he plays too passively: 12...Nh5? (Tal gives Nd7, Bf6) leaves the Knight out of play on the rim.
