The game:

[Event "Biel International Chess Festival"]
[Site "Biel SUI"]
[Date "2003.07.21"]
[EventDate "2003.07.21"]
[Round "1"]
[Result "1-0"]
[White "Morozevich"]
[Black "Y Pelletier"]
[ECO "C18"]
[WhiteElo "2679"]
[BlackElo "2602"]
[PlyCount "60"]

1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 Bb4 4. e5 Ne7 5. a3 Bxc3+ 6. bxc3 c5 7. h4 Qa5 8.
Bd2 Nbc6 9. h5 h6 10. Rh4 Bd7 11. Rg4 Qc7 12. Nf3 g5 13. hxg6 fxg6 14. Rb1
g5 15. dxc5 O-O-O 16. Bd3 Rhg8 17. Qe2 Rdf8 18. c4 Ng6 19. cxd5 exd5 20.
Ba6 bxa6 21. Qxa6+ Kd8 22. Rb7 Qc8 23. e6 Bxe6 24. Nd4 Bd7 25. Ba5+ Ke8 26.
Qe2+ Nge7 27. Rc7 Qb8 28. Nxc6 Qb1+ 29. Kd2 Rg7 30. Rb4 1-0

Note that 20.Ba6 is followed by bxa6.  The variation 20...Bxg4 puts doubts on
the reasonability of 20.Ba6.  I think a better test move would be move 25, where
instead of Morozevich's blunder 25.Ba5+, the bizarre move Rxg5.  Morozevich's
attack succeeded because of Pelletier's blunders on moves 26 and 27.
