White is clearly winning and perhaps
that caused him to lose focus, as the
game lasted only one more move (!):

THE UNDERRATED REMOVAL OF THE GUARD

NM Dan Heisman: The logic a guarded piece is not really guarded if the guard can be attacked (60 ... f7-f6+! 0-1) or taken (33 ... Rc1xBe1! 0-1) is not really emphasized in beginner's books.
