Sep-26-04    Giancarlo: He beat Tal in a very impressive game! Bannik vs Tal, 1958 Jun-03-05    WTHarvey: Here are some puzzles from Anatoly's games: http://www.wtharvey.com/bann.html Jun-03-05    blackjacki2: im a fan of your site harvey Feb-05-06    Resignation Trap: For many years, Bannik had always placed a large apple beside his board. When the position became completely clear, he took a knife, cut up the apple, and consumed it with a good appetite. But on one occasion Bannik did not manage to eat his apple: Bannik vs Petrosian, 1961 . Jun-11-06    sixfeetunder: was he often banned? May-11-08    eremite: Bannik was the Champion of Ukraine 5 times. He was living in Germany since late 90th, but I do not know if he is alive now
