have needed more than a second to find Black's reply if given this position.
It does show how every player is vulnerable to fixating on his own moves
without looking at the entire board. Bologan may have already been bailing out
a little with this move, perhaps expecting a repetition after ..Rc4 Nbd5.} (23.
