Jorden van Foreest had 21 minutes (plus increments) left for 5 moves until the time control and spent just 21 seconds on 36.Nd4?? (two question marks seem warranted for a move that loses immediately).
"paying slavish attention to the engine’s evaluations can be misleading" - yes, in some situations. Here I would say that the only move 36.Kd3 wasn't much more tricky to find and assess than a forced recapture (only one [good] way) or obviously only one good way to get out of a check. If you visualize the position after 36.Nd4, all you have to realize is that the attacked black bishop doesn't have to capture on g2 (chess isn't checkers) but can also go to e4 ruling out the probable whit intention "Kd3 will be next".
