I don't think you are looking at the right place in the game.  By this point,
it is clear that black doesn't know what is going on.  This might be a
problem with choosing a bad book line, or it might be a problem with not
understanding the pieces bearing on the king position.

I think the 'solution' here is back earlier in the game.  IE even if a program
will play gf here, I would hope it would avoid this position earlier so that it
doesn't have to deal with that choice...
