I agree that it is better to see it by evaluation without piece square tables(for example you can see that there are no pawn near the white king) but I believe that if programs do not see it by better king safety evaluation then they can at least use better piece square tables I saw that the position was the end of the main line of Yace and a better evaluation could help Yace to avoid the mistake.
