Excellent comments. This one

This move as well as the 32nd betray an indecisiveness about how to proceed in
this position. Computer programs do not play like masters. Masters often follow
a plan that is set in operative terms. The program's plan is its evaluation
function, which is an implicit plan and it's up to the search to find the best
way to execute. Every move is a fresh look into that problem. Sometimes this
search comes up blank.

is probably the most concise explanation I've ever seen of 'why did it play that
strange King move, doing nothing?' :)
