Tactics: easy for engine, hard for human

From Gashimov-Grishuk

[D]8/p2Qnk2/1p3b1r/1P6/P3R2P/6R1/q4PK1/8 w - - 3 47

White, one of world's strongest players, played Rge3 here and the game ended with draw. Even weak engines find the winning continuation in fraction of second on very low depth. The winning pin is very uncommon and easy to miss.

I am sure strong players will find this move - I found the move and I am not that good ...
there are other factors that influence the player not finding the move ... fatigue / time trouble ....

I just dont see anything uncommon here.
