I thought based on the scores that it did not see a tactical problem with that
move but now when I check it again I seee that Grok has no score at depth 9 for
Nxb2 so it simply hides information from me in it's pvs.

Grok is not one of the top programs and it is weaker than movei so I suspect
that if movei need some minutes to fail low for tactical reasons then it means
that Grok need more time.

Depth 9 also does not seem correct for the big fail low unless Grok does a lot
of extensions.
