I forgot that you need to use also positions when there should be no big change
in the evaluation.

programs need to see justified big changes in the evaluation fast and not to see
unjustified big changes in the evaluation in order to be good in tactics by my
definition.

If a program see big changes in the evaluation when there is no reason to see
them then it can be a good solver without being good at tactics.

I think that if you reduce the value of pieces you can get a better solver
without being better in tactics because the program may see big changes in the
evaluation without a good reason.
