The programs dont play Bxa6 for good reasons ; analyze the game with any program and you willsee that 20...Ra7 was the error ; if he plays 20...Re6 instead White has nothing ;for example Fritz 6 considers 20...Ra7? an error.Also from your previous post I gather that you may have the time controls wrong. The second time control is 20 moves in 1 hour and the third time control is game in 15 minutes with 30 second increments.
