The key is not only tactical mitsakes but tactical mistakes that programs can
find even based on search of depth of 1 or 2.

A tactical mistake that programs understand only after 7 or 8 plies can be also
discovered in less then one second but it is not the same as the tactical
mistake that kramnik did in his first loss.
