CM_SKR shows an eval of -2.95 for Black with 13...Nf4 before that move, and a Mate in 5 for White after that move! And, as another user pointed out, it is the limited search depth that causes this (and the instant moves). Vlad's search depth is limited to 3 plies. Vlad also has a big mobility value, which is why he probably preferred playing d6 to open the diagonal for the bishop and attack your queen. He just couldn't see the mate a mere 9 plies away. jm
