I wonder what an actual shogi player would think of this set-up. Would it strike them as implausible that a rank A professional would miss that solution?

I think it's like most sports where your mental state has a huge effect on your performance. Idk if that was a move that should be blindingly obvious, but he was at the verge of elimination, playing someone that he thought of as well beyond his league, and dealing with constant stomach pain. It makes sense to me from just a sports person standpoint that he thought he couldn't win, which fed back into him playing poorly.
