Morozevich had some flaky moves in there, I think.

  plang: 10..Nxc3 is almost automatically played in this line; Gelfand's 10..Re8 is quite rare. In 2000 "Fritz" played 13 Re1 against Anand and the game was drawn; 13 f3?! was new but after Black's reply it hardly looks like an improvement. 15 Ne2?! was an odd looking move. 19 Nxf6+? increased Black's edge; 19 Nc5 or 19 N4c3 were alternatives.

In this ten player round robin Gelfand tied for first with Topalov at +3 (they were the only players with plus scores). Morozovich finished last at -4; this game is a good example of his poor form.
