Yes. PM only briefly likes it at depth 9, but as luck would have it,
that's what it came up with in the time available. While watching, I
was suspicious of this move, because it seems to be at odds to what
PM was doing in the previous moves. A long think gives 32...Ba6, with a
score somewhere around -0.6:

12=   -52   287  38588438   1... Ba6 2. Kd1 Bb5 3. Qf6 Kd7 4. Qg7 Ke8
                            5. Bg6 Rc7 6. Ke1 d5
