I don't have a precise definition, or there are different definitions possible
of what a typical computer move is. But usually it's something "non-human", like
a move a human player probably would consider last, like in this position:

[D]r1b1k2b/pp1p3p/2p5/3Nqp2/2B4Q/8/PP1P1PPP/n1BK3R w q - 0 16

16.Nc7+!!

The sacrifice of the Knight is followed by 6 checking moves of the Queen, and
it's mate in 3...
