Tactical blunders come easily in bad positions. This move and his next just save White a lot of unnecessary suffering, as 31.Ne1 Qd2! leaves him in a hopeless mess; for example, 32.Qc2 Qxc2 33.Nxc2 Rd2 34.Ne1 Na3 and the white rook has suffocated.
31...Bxd4 32.Rd1?! Nxe3!-+.
White's rook drops off after 33.Qxd5 Rxd5 34.fxe3 Bxe3+-+.
